I wouldn't want it going much past 100-110degree's.

95degree's is fairly warm, Bl4ck32 has an oil temp guage it sits pretty much level with water temp, being ~83-85degree's.

One difference between yours and his is the lack of piston oil squirters, having piston oil squirters removes heat from the piston, possibly why yours is a little higher.

Which oil temp guage did u get? one with a elec sender? How much I need one. :D

thanks Cubes, i think ill set it at 105C.

all up the whole setup cost more than i wanted to spend i bought each part in stages.

Blitz DCII electronic Temp guage $200

Blitz Live-Unit II $135

Blitz Sandwich plate (goes between oil filter & block) $100

I've done 1,000km in the past 3 days (all 30-35c days with plenty of humidity) and my oil hasn't gone above 90c (according to the factory oil gauge in my r32 gtr, which being 11yrs old im not sure how accurate it is). That's with air intake temps of 50-55c and water temps of 76-85c.

I've certainly done plenty of hard driving (altho only at 11psi) and heaps of freeway driving.

Ive got a Series 1 GTS-t putting out around 270kw and the Water Temperature reading on the Power FC never goes above 81* except during a 3 lap Supersprint when it goes to around 98* and cools down to 81* within 4 mins of driving slowly. I have a Electronic Omori Oil Temp Guage fitted and an Oil Cooler and the Oil Temp never gets above 70* except during a 3 lap Supersprint when it gets to around 100* and it cools back to 70* within the 4 minuite cooldown as well. This was with the Standard Radiator which I replaced with a PWR thicker one and no differece has been noticed. Also running tank water with Water Wetter in the system.

I think 98* normal running seems too hot and I would get the cooling system flushed.

If your hitting 110+ degree oil temps on the street then you should look at fitting an oil cooler, no if's no buts.

Apparently at 115degree's the high oil temps begin to break down the petroleum oils and cause oxidation, which in turn forms deposits, varnish and increases wear.

    • The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses. 
    • Reading your posts Josh, sometimes I feel like I've gone in a time machine back to the 90's when everyone was doe-eyed and figuring things out for the first time.  I've lost track of how many single turbo GTR's I've seen on track that haven't burnt down lol. Everything has been figured out a long time ago. These things are at the point now where its essentially turn-key to go single turbo. 
    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
