Deleted my oil cooler.

Although not the same car, engine type or displacement, I deleted the oil cooler on my Soarer when I still had it. At the most, all I had was about 10* difference under hard driving conditions. Hardly enough to even pay attention to it anymore. I hope it works out for you in the meantime man.

Yeah I don't expect any problems considering I really only commute in it. Honestly I will probably replace it with a front-mounted aftermarket one, I just needed to fix the leak and thought I'd stir up some shit in the meantime.

Got an oil cooler on that NA of yours? If I'm going to be dislodged from my happy place, someone has to convince me that my massive 5-second, 240whp-merge-into-freeway-traffic poses some dramatic thermal threat to my engine.

Got turbos heating that oil on yours?

Does a turbo at cruise heat oil? If a tree falls in the woods, does it need an oil cooler?

Nah I'm just messing with you. I wouldn't think it would be a problem unless I get on it.

I thought it was if a bear poops in the woods does it need an oil cooler??

Worst argument ever. They give that title to literally ANYONE these days.

i dont see it being a problem if you're not beating on it; in the same way you could delete your FMIC. "i never beat on it, so whats the problem?"

well, the FD rx7 comes equipped with 2 oil coolers, one under each headlight. and a single turbo intercooler that is about the size of one of our OEM sidemounts. its all about knock control. the heat of the motor has a lot to do with it. you could tune out the heat with some timing adjustments; but since its just a temporary fix and not something planned for high performance use ("i deleted my oil cooler because it wasnt doing anything anyway!" <- bad idea) i dont see it being a problem.
