have you noticed any loss of front downforce after this setup? randomly stumbled upon a video talking about a horizontal heat exchanger like yours, above the splitter.
queued to correct starting spot.

here's a blackstone report with the motorcraft 5w-50 from an hour of time at road america where my oil temps were 260-280. i only 2000 miles on this sample, with about 800 miles of that coming from that weekend alone.
i could measure exhaust gas temp at the tip with an arduino thermocouple setup if anyone really cared. the best i could do is a 5 mile curvy road with a lot of acceleration.
i bought some replacement bearing inserts so i'm not worried about it wearing away. i haven't finished the project in 2 years because i've been trying to maximize area around the bolted joints. have been trying to run analysis on it, but that is over my head. the carbon block is 3/4" thick
Just a thread to share some scans i have done with my 3dmakerpro moose light scanner. neither have any post processing.
-Nx2 turbo for 2.3 ecoboost
-briggs lawn mower block. can you connect the dots?
you're biggest disadvantage is your non-pp has the smaller radiator, as the turbo is coolant cooled. pretty much what gjarrett said. use a good engine oil too.
didnt watch the video, but assuming where talking about after an oil change and not a dry engine
idk you're not exposing the main bearings to combustion forces and spinning the engine 5-6x slower when you have little to no oil pressure?
