Oil Cooling...
I Noticed The Other Day When I Got Caught In The Rain That My Oil Temps Dropped A Bit. I Figured It Was From Rain Hitting The Bumper And Causing A Mist Effect On The Cooler. Has Anyone Ever Thought Of Making Something Similar To An Intercooler Mist Setup For The Oil Cooler? Or Is That Even Feasable? May Be A Dumb Question But It Has Logic Behind It That Works...

that wouldnt actually be a bad idea. You could set it up to work in conjunction with either a water injection setup or a intercooler sprayer setup. I run a dual stage water injection setup on my car and i could prolly make it a three stage system, or even a 4 stage system with a couple extra parts. So that would make 2 for intake track, 1 for intercooler, and 1 for oil cooler. It would be setup to come on at a certain boost level, which is exactly when the oil cooling is needed the most.

My Oil Temps Actually Are Great And I Usually Dont Dog My Car Until Its Very Hot, But If Theres A Way To Get Temps Even Better Why Not Consider It....
Even If You Went With A Cwr Cooler Setup Or Something It Doesnt Matter, You Could Drop Temp's Even More With Some Kind If Mist Setup, Agreed?

Water injection is different to water mist...water injection probably will lose you power but it makes the car more reliable.
Water mist onto intercoolers etc can be worse than normal airflow.

I won't let go
What are your temps otherwise. On hot days when getting into it a little, I'll see MAYBE 185. Are you an R1/2 or otherwise have duals? That would probably make the difference.

2. You still want your oil to be a certain temperature (i.e. not too cold). The lubricating properties of oil work best at it's heat range (which is probably a little different for each oil type/weight). This is also why it's not a good idea to run heavy weighted oils in colder climates.

But While On This Note, Is It Feasable To Just Upgrade To Another Cooler From Say An R1 Or Spend The Extra Dough For Something Like A Cwr Setup. For Basically Daily Driving That Is? I Believe That My Onw Cooler Is Enough For The Way That I Drive The Car But For In The Future When I Start Looking For Other Projects Once The Car Is Running Correctly...

Yeh Thats What We Are Leaning Towards Now. Even After I Got Back Home I Ordered And Installed A New Wiring Harness Which Caused No Change At All, But Its Still Money Well Spent Only $600! So I Contacted Cam Because That Is What He Recommended Next For Troubleshooting, And He In Turn Then Recommended Replacing The Secondary Fuel Injectors As Well Did My Certified Rotary Tech. Here At Work. So In A Very Nice Geture From Cam He Sent Me A Secondary Fuel Rail With A Known Good Set Of Secondaries, And An A Fpr Overnight To Swap Into The Car To See If It Will Help The Problem...
