Air-to-Water Oil Cooler

[RYU]

Long shot request.. anyone out there developing one of these for the NSX?

If you mean a water-to-oil heat exchanger like the stock "oil cooler", just with a higher capacity, Dali Racing has one on their website: http://www.daliracing.com/v666-5/cat...cfm?focus=1134. However, after testing it Mark told me that it helped but that it wasn’t large enough to work well if you are constantly running between 7-8k rpm.

Maybe the OEM water-to-oil heat exchanger in some existing car has enough capacity to cool an NSX’s engine oil. BMW M5s of the 400 hp E39 generation had water-to-oil heat exchangers for the engine oil and maybe you could adapt one of those to work in an NSX. As a note, for the 500 hp E60 generation, BMW decided to go with an air-to-oil cooler instead.

I'm sorry, yes.. Air to Oil is what I meant. *palm slap to face*

I did also contact Mark before posting this and they were still working on a solution themselves. Thanks for your suggestions on the BMW parts. That's something i'll look into!

If you’re looking for an air-to-oil cooler for an NSX, the two off-the-shelf kits I’m aware of are AMW’s and Science of Speed’s. In addition, Driving Ambition has built several if not many air-to-oil coolers even though it's not listed as an off-the-shelf kit on their website.

I look forward to seeing what you end up with!
