Keeping a hill climb turbo rotary cool
so i now have a directive. BUT the biggest issue i believe i am going to face is trying to keep the car cool.
Some important information to get you up to speed:
So as far as keeping the whole shebang cool. I can see the choice of forced induction really being the major factor. If i run the turbocharger, i will need a larger inter cooler and i believe the oil temperatures will be higher due to the proximity of the exhaust heat plus there will be an impact on the coolant assuming i use a coolant cooled turbo charger. If i run the Camden it is oil cool only, and not exposed as directly to searing exhaust heat. This would also not require an inter cooler and therefore, save a serious amount of space in the engine bay for the radiator and the oil coolers. Everything will have to be carefully placed and ducted for its own protection (first priority) and for optimal flow. I will have to see if i can maybe lay the radiator in a v-mount style and chop the hood to have air directed. Might partially work as a creator of down force as well. OIL: I plan on running two, 18"x14" oil coolers with -10AN lines with fans and a chance of a mister system is things get real bad. The stock oil cooler will not keep up and even the Mazda Comp. Oil Cooler is somewhat lax on doing the job. COOLANT: Will have to run the best radiator i can find and use every trick in the book to improve cooling starting with the build of the engine. Ill have to see how intense the heating system really is to see if a mister will be used here as well.
