Has anyone installed an aftermarket oil-air oil cooler on a GT? Everyone seems to be making them only for the ecoboost, but the GT could definitely benefit from one as well. I'm curious exactly why the Mishimoto one for the ecoboost couldn't work on the GT. It seems like the mounting location would be about the same...

[MENTION=9961]Mishimoto[/MENTION], is there any reason why this wouldn't work for the GT?

And then the oil cooler becomes and oil heater

Can you explain this please

Thank you

Someone else jump on here as well if I'm wrong..but I was told the "oil cooler" is just a tube that runs off the oil filter out to another tube connected to the radiator and the coolant passes by and cools the oil and then the oil returns back to the oil filter. But the issue is once the car is up to temp 240-260 range so is the oil so its not cooling anymore its heat soaking it?

Unfortunately the ecoboost oil cooler will not work on the GT. However, we are developing a direct-fit oil cooler solution for the GT as we speak. Check out our R&D thread HERE!

That's correct

It doesn't do shit

Transmission cooler air scoop available

I just saw that on AM today and have to wonder how much of a help it may be, especially considering you have to remove it to change your oil...

GT_Roadcourse_Newb · May 17, 2016

I'd have been more into the scoop if it looked like it was thermoconductive...they painted it..?

Can anyone inform whether there is clearance above the differential housing, between the floor of the car and the housing? Hopefully there are at least some substantial gaps..?

tia anyone who can answer this..

Sticking my neck out here, but if there is some room around the oil filter, might this help a trifle?

There's very little room around the filter.

So I've been playing with my ngauge a little finally. Most all of the sensors read the same from the dash to the ngauge. However, engine coolant temperature(ECT) reads roughly 10 degrees cooler than the cylinder head temp readout on the dash. I wonder if there are 2 sensors or if there is some kind of compensation happening for the cylinder head temp... or?

I thought I had read that one of the two values is interpreted from the other. I could be wrong though.

I saw someone talking about that in regard to oil temp on the 11-14 mustang and were guessing the 15+ did the same, but have not seen anything on engine coolant. Have a link possibly?

Anthony@HTM · May 18, 2016

Oil temp is inferred apparently but coolant temp and oil pressure is accurate

Looks like I may have been mixing that up w/the oil temp being inferred. :(

Might one hope that the 'track key' or Ford Racing tune would turn on the fans sooner, and aim to keep a slightly lower operating temperature?
