Oil cooler needed for drag racing?
What do you guys think?
All Motor PP 13B being strictly used for 1/4 mile runs. Would I need to run an oil cooler?
I realize that the rotors are cooled by oil but the amount of time the engine will run I dont think it really nesessary.

Oil is injected into the rotors ~3000rpm (if the eccentric shaft is unmodified)
Use a thick oil

no oil cooler
You dont need one for drag racing, I dont even run one in my street cars....

no need for an oil cooler , specially after upgrading and improving the oil preasure system there is no oil cooler that will hold up the preasure and not cause cavitation hope it all works out for ya

what I would do is install a good oil temperature gauge. auto meter makes one, monitor your oil temperature during your burnouts and runs. you dont want to see more then 220 deg,. farenheit.. if your oil temps goes above this. then look into a cooler. Many things effect oil temps. example, a water radiator not large enough for your particular application, high water temps will cause your oil temps to go up. your trailing and leading timing split will cause elevated combustion temperatures, the elevated combustion temperatures travel right into your oil and brings up oil temperature.. many factors here.. so i would monitor your oil temps and make a decision after that. cause when your oil starts to steam up!!! oil viscocity goes down and your bearings will just run on friction from the e-shaft to the engine bearings..
