Cooling mods for the track

[freddiemac]

Would like some help from the community to guide me on a couple of planned mods (I've already done some homework and research)

Background:
Picked up a 2010 E90 with a ESS 625 kit on it recently, for planned street/track duty. Currently running fine with all stock coolers.

Planned Mods to get it track-worthy:

1) Engine oil cooler:
i) correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like Do88 makes the best one (compared to CSF and Alekshop)? Please chime in if you have exp with any of them!

2) DCT cooler:
i) Is this mod a nice to have or a must?
ii) Also it looks like Do88 is the superior one over CSF

3) Radiator (which one should I get):
i) Anyone tried the Koyo's? Looks like a alternative to CSF due to lower cost and similar (or greater capacity):
https://www.redline360.com/koyo-radi...3-e9x-HH422087
ii) Here's the CSF one: https://www.redline360.com/csf-radia...-e92-e93-7059?

4) PS cooler (upgrade or MS underdrive pulley):
Looks like PS fluid spilling is common for the track, MS underdrive pulley seems to fix it, is PS cooler a solution as well? Any other pro/cons?

Also, where is the best place to pick up Do88 coolers (other than ordering from Sweden)?

Thank you in advance!!

you're on the money.

underdrive pulleys aren't known to help with cooling.

hood vents are another option.

That's a solid rec, on the hood vent, thank you!

Pulley would be to prevent the PS oil spilling. Not sure if additional cooling for PS oil is absolutely necessary..

there's also a misting system from EAS that i'm trying to track down

A ps cooler would help more than a pulley. Once it's filled to the proper level, put a wrist band over the top of it to soak up the excess fluid.

I painted my vents and I think they look great. No track days with them yet.

It was more of a custom solution they made for dogbone. Did you already read about it in his thread?

you could also add the bimmerworld PS reservoir to add come capacity. Do88 also sells a PS cooler.

Definitely add a bigger radiator and oil cooler. Do88 seems to be the best off the shelf solution. you can always go customs but depends on what your doing.
