So why don't you ask somebody there to post something useful?

Still reeling from the political threads I see?

Go calm down.

He sounds calm to me. He did just give you a great opening, that you took great pains to avoid. Multiple times.

If it were me, and I was a thermal engineer, I'd have taken to chance to pull some records out or made some assumptions based on similar designs and make a useful post such as:

"Well, the 6G72TT was estimated/tested to produce 460,000 BTU/hr at full load into the cooling system and 238,000BTU/hr into the oil cooling system based on it's available fuel rate and BSFC under full load. The stock cooling system in good condition was designed to expel that with a safety factor of 1.8 to account for eventual cooling system deterioration. Removing the oil cooling system will make the water cooling system pass it's safety factor trying to expel the additional heat under full load or additional load from modifications, which will cause oil to overheat and eventually the whole engine to overheat. OEM applications usually call for a oil cooler of xBTU/hr per 100HP produced at the flywheel, even for 'daily driving' conditions."

The ability to use your current knowledge or ability to gain that knowledge through research, process it, and then release that knowledge for the benefit of others through clear communication is the hallmark of an excellent engineer. Those type of people, whether or not engineers or just people who push their own cars to their own limits, are usually the people who a community such as ours look up to for advice or to admire their accomplishments. Adam as achieved such a position through his accomplishments and such sharing of knowledge.

Strange, you can find nearly all those people in one place...Yes I pulled those numbers out of my ass.

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

Not as much as engineers but yeah nuclear still sounds cool

so your the one to blame for shitty coolant temp issues. lol. why do the 90-92 have the temp switch to activate the fans on the bottom of the radiator??? What was the thinking on that?

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.

Tell ya what
Idle your car for 20 minutes. Then go and grab the turbine housing with your bare hand, hold for 30 seconds. Let me know if it is hot. The oil is moving thru it while idling that hot. The turbos are introducing heat into the oil.

I'll stick with my oil cooler. It surely can only help and surely can't hurt.
