The water temps get to 230 in about three laps (65 degree ambient! Ridiculous). Dct temps are fine with the new cooler but I’ve got a slon pan and dry break overfill as well. Oil temps still get hot)Litchfield race oil cooler but nothing crazy for s65’s and the car goes into limp mode due to water temps before anything. For the record I’ve vacuum bled the car, regular bled the car, ran just water/water wetter, OE coolant mix, you name it. Car still gets hot immediately. It’s a real shame. Do8& was the best in the business.
As for PWR, Ive got a PWR rad waiting to go in the car (with some other custom cooling goodies from them) but they’re not plug and play. They don’t have pass through space for the ac lines (not a big deal if you don’t have it) or the power steering cooler hard lines. They also don’t have mounting provisions for the PS cooler or ac condenser either. It’s on my list to get it in still but not an easy thing to do and keep all factory mountings.

after the incident, did you replace all the rubber seals and plastic duct/panels around the radiator area? The rad needs to be sealed up properly or performance suffers due to decreased airflow through the radiator.
