I live in Illinois. "town" is 27 miles away. We have what I like to call, glorified roads. At one point in time (when my grandpa was a kid) they were average, paved roads. Now, the township just puts gravel and dirt on them, evens it out and calls it good. So 85% of the roads within a 20 mile radius are gravel, dirt, and grass roads. With no one around me, I'm ripping through roads timing myself on my make shift rally course. In winter, if I don't plow the road myself there's a good chance it won't get plowed at all (I found if the snow accumulation is over 3" I'm usually on my own) So in the winter I'm driving through a nice layer of snow. My commute is a rally course in essence. So you could imagine I push my baby pretty hard. With temps here regularly reaching 90-95 in summer, and 0 in winter my stock cooling system just isn't up to par anymore. I have stock piping, stock radiator, intake, everything. What should I do to combat my naughty driving style and keep my girl nice and cool? I'll be doing it this fall, and adding an FP Green as well

 

Why is it not up to par? What temps are you seeing now, and what were they before?

 

Prosport read oil temp was running 241 the other day, wasn't that hard on it. I'm usually seeing 195-215. Just want to get some more cool air to bring that down, I should say it's not up to par for me

 

damn. 241 deg F, I hope you shut it off immediately. You likely have a major coolant issue seeing those temps. Head gasket issue, water pump or thermostat issue.

You have a malfunction with the coolant system. I would diagnose why your temps are sky rocketing that high.

--edit. I just noticed you mention oil temps. So are you saying your engine oil temps are 241 deg F ,or coolant temps are 241 deg F?

If you are trying to ask how to bring down engine oil temps, first thing I would make sure if your oil cooler fins are clean and free from debris. What oil are you using?

 

Since there is gravel and debris take a pic of your oil cooler and radiator.

Fins are probably really bad..

 

holy f***

 

oil cooler lines where clogged with stuff, ran all new fuel lines, oil lines, and ordered an STM cooler kit, put it on the lift and took an air hose and the entire shop was covered in "dust" looked like a sand storm
