Has anyone installed an oil cooler?

[Guest et209]

With hot Singapore weather, is it logical to install an additional oil cooler? I was thinking about it. Usually, when the weather is cool, my car feels responsive, but stucked in a traffic jam, my car becomes sluggish. Is it the same for you guys?

is tat the same as an inter-cooler?

no

Is sluggish due to the oil temp?

I think there is a bit. But I have the idea that it is more due to air temperature. Taking the theory from a gas turbine engine, cold or wet air produces more thrust in a jet engine due to the higher density of air molecules. So, in the cool morning or night and even during rainy days, my car feels easier to move.

I think this is the reason for the intercooler to come in to cool the compressed air.

Winter weather w/o snow is a nice time to drive a turbocharged car - all the cool dense FRESH air your car needs :thumbsup:

Best route and timing we can find now....

6 am on NSHW, best for Turbo, visible, not that crowded.

SHALL WE ?

bro I think it is probably due to the density of O2 & its corresponding temperature. U might want to consider an oil temp gauge before plonking an additional cooler. I think some inside the dash menu, you can recall out the oil temp.

M271 engine block has intercooler below the radiator. A larger intercooler helps but watch the air pressure loss though..

May be we can do the wrx trick, windscreen washer spray onto intercooler....

Someone's car has cooler lei....

Anyway, when air get compressed, heat is produced and having a cooler certainly helps the proces in the combustion chamber.

u very clever meh????

All rides that have a kompressor should have a small intercooler...it's somewhere inside, go figure it out.
