hybrid 1043 Report post Posted September 21, 2011 Oils can operate around 150+ while insane hot it totally depends on the oil used. It also depends where the sensor is placed as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DRTDVL 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2011 Everything i've ever read says oil starts to breakdown around 120^C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted September 30, 2011 Yeah nah ... Will do at sustain periods around 180 depending on the oil. If oil broke down consistantly at 120 there would a lot of broken cars around. Annnyways ... found the culprit with a mild suggestion from conrad. It turned out to be the oil thermostat in the filter housing (its an s50 thing) ... Got one on order now ($517 later ) so will strip off the old one and replace.

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted November 17, 2011 So been a bit busy ordering some new stuff. New Oil housing with the elusive pressed in Oil Thermostat, yes you have to buy the whole housing just for this one bit. My old one is poked shut. And while im at it I installed a new Ratiometeric 0-100psi, 0-5 volt industrial grade pressure sensor (Thanks to conrad for help locating one) This will eventually connect to my new GPS datalogger project (watch this space) Just sitting it in the housing, will seal with alloy washer once locked in.

I had a chat to the guys at Elf about oil temps as i was curious and they where saying that with their 10w40 Competition GT that it's good to 120^C if i was seeing above that i needed to look at a 20w50 which is good till 130^C and i was seeing higher than that i would need to seriously look at cooling the oil. He also commented that it would be ok for short periods at those upper temps provided that the oil pressure doesn't drop too much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted December 1, 2011 Been working on the brakes recently to hunt out a few issue with over heating Changed out the pads to something a bit more race orientated and less best of both worlds Followed Ollies Gee's path and went with the V8 Super Car / NZv8 route. Performance Friction Pads Type 81 Medium Compound Bevelled edges for noise reduction, my neighbours will probabaly love me now instead of the screaming from the other pads which normally happens on warmup Also thanks to Ollie McDermott working on some prototypes, these are back from the laser cutters and currently being welded up. All alloy light weight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
