Z20LET into a Haynes Roadster

[Ben_Copeland]

Right, bit of an update.

Had an issue with too hot oil and the rad fan coming on while driving... so I did a bit of research.

Oil temperature is now fine. The thermostat wasn't opening properly and I had the oil temp sensor in the wrong place. Its now located in the sump plug and appears normal.

I also installed a massive oil cooler, but its obvious its not necessary so will probably swap it back to a smaller one.

Water cooling, I had a bit of an issue where the fan was coming on during normal driving. Appears that I wasn't getting enough air in the front.

I'll made some crude cowling to try and force more air through the rads. I've also removed the meshing from the nosecone... The mesh I had was very restrictive. Just need to find something to replace it with.

I've also replace the thermostat with a 82c one and put the heat bypass pipe back in.

I'm yet to give it a blast on a hot day, so I'm hoping for some nice evenings or spot of sun this weekend where I can give it a bit of a hoon and see what's what.

I'm also going to Stoneleigh so come and say hi if you see me / the car.
