No, the car needs an oil cooler.

 

Thatd be like "can I remove my radiator". Most cars use the coolant as a means to control oil temps, but as sean said, Im pretty sure there would be problems just letting it go uncooled.

 

OK thanks. I thought I read dragsters remove theirs I did see a car with no front radiator and no starter at the nats

 

Autocross isn't drag racing

 

I should find my stock oil cooler then

 

this cheap product has been showing up on my FB feed and I'm thinking maybe its time to make a splitter.

You can buy the setrab cooler by itself for like ~$225. They're not that expensive.

 

yep. just open to the possibility some order will get delayed, damaged or cause new issues (wrong inlets etc) . I just have really bad luck with this car

 

If you have bad luck with it, the worst way to attempt solving that is by making shortcuts.

 

Makes sense, but not in my case. I'm just cooking up a backup plan. We're taking "shortcuts" of course

 

If you have a part number off your Setrab or can measure it and know the inlets (tho I think most or all of Setrabs stuff are M22 inlets) I can get you a replacement cooler.

 

Thanks. The order has been placed. I'm just twiddling my thumbs while the (new) shop does their thing

 

They also fill their coolant galleries in their blocks with concrete lol.

Drag racing is unique when u run methanol it runs so cool you dont really need coolant hence why alot of drag cars dont run radiators and coolers. they still have to be careful to not let them idle too long and they only do like 8 seconds at power then shut down

 

Drag racing is all about thermal capacity. Just need to be able to hold the heat not necessarily shed it. That why bar/plate ICs are so popular for Evos and DSMs.

 

I've had great luck with Derale units.... If you're on a budget.
