Cooling solution for supercharged E92 ?
I recently got the ESS 625 kit and went to the track couple days ago. iDrive said engine is about to overheat after only 3-4 laps of hard driving. Yes, track is hot. 30+ degree C. I am wondering is there any aftermarket oil cooling solution out there.
Thanks |

Do you have any extra space somewhere in front bumper area? If so, you can simply add a small setrab oil cooler. If not, it would be a bit harder, but I'm sure you can get have local racing shop to make one.

Check your intercooler system circulation. Most likely you have an issue here. The VT2-625 can normally take a lot of hard racing even in 30C before you have to do cooldown laps.
With the ignition on, open the IC reservoir and check flow. You should see a water amount similar to a fully opened garden hose coming out of the top inlet port from the manifold. If you do not have a large amount of water moving through the tank or no movement at all, then inspect hoses/routing and verify pump function. |
