What does your oil pressure gauge read after the 3.6 install, any difference @ idle or other RPM's?
The oil pressure is much greater now. At idle it's a healthy 2.5 to 3 bar (before, 1 bar). At speeds above 3000 rpm it's 4.5 to 5 bar.
Is the new oil cooler going to be in series with the existing one?
Yes, it's in series. Oil goes from thermostat to fender cooler to valance cooler to tank.
What is the AN size for the lines you are going to use to the new cooler?
Same as stock SC/Carrera oil cooler. I don't know the AN size, ask Jae Lee, Mark Kinninger, or Steve Grosekemper. They'll know the actual size.
The other 3.6 install I know of has a thermostatic fan on the fender cooler, have you considered the same?
I already have a 300-cfm fan installed, and operates remotely with a dash switch, so that any possible thermo-switch failures are not an issue.
I'm just curious, I dream of doing the same 3.6 install someday too in the rosy world of the fuzzy future.
If your world is fuzzy and rosey, I'd re-check my prescriptions!
Thanks, Ted
Any time.
