Since I have my engine out and a lot of time on my hands, I was thinking that maybe I should but another oil cooler behind the original one. I want to do some solo racing this summer and I'd like to do a couple laps with out over heating the engine. Would that help? I also plan on mounting an IC in the front too. I read that the suzuki NPR are the best in a thread the other day or are there any beter one? Should I install a larger radiator or will the stock rad be good til about 250 hp?

the stock oil cooler is quite large..i think that for solo (autocross?) it will be more than adequate.

as long as you dont block the oil coolers air flow it should be fine. a bigger radiator is nice though, especially if you put an intercooler in front of it

bigger rad is a good idea. second oil cooler is completely unnecessary

I meant like solo 1 especially where you race on the big road courses. But thanks for the advice.

I would take the second oil cooler and rig it up as a tranny cooler for Solo I.
