I am up in the air between buying a faster car or possibly supercharging my S. I do do a few trackdays during the summer though. Most of the trackdays around here are 20 minute sessions for a total of one hour of driving per event. Will a SOS Stage 2 kit, say 350-400whp be alright for 20 minutes without overheating?

I'm willing to do a bigger radiator, oil cooler, SOS heat exchanger if needed, but not much past that. I really don't want to be scared about oil and coolant temps when I'm trying to have fun on track.

Thanks!

Rock solid. My buddy (vandieman) has been tracking the same setup you mention for 3 years now. He runs it hard and pretty frequently. I also have the same setup and track occasionally without any problems in 3 years. In July this year when I ran roll races pretty much all day in 102 to 105 degree temps, I had no issues. I even had ac on between races and didn't pop the hood to cool down like the other cars...IAT and ECT all stayed consistent even though I could feel a little heat soak after noon but so did all the other cars.

 

The only thing you absolutely need is the larger heat exchanger. I don't have an oil cooler and the radiator is stock.

 

I had my comptech N1000 with a large heat exchanger, anda 3.2 pulley (12psi). I wouldn't last a 15min session without both oil temps and coolant temps getting hot. I did have a stock radiator though.

I'm now turbocharged (9psi) with a v-mount, and and it runs much much cooler than when i was supercharged. But the v-mount+dualpass radiator+running E85 might have something to do with that as well.

 

Where are you guys tapping for oil and coolant temps?

 

I have the Novi 1200 and larger heat exchanger running on E85 in Sweden.
Do you guys think I need a oil cooler for 15min sessions on track?

 

I just read coolant temp through my AEM Series 2 which feeds the info to a serial gauge. My oil temp sensor is installed in the drain plug - just drill & tap it.

 

Thanks guys, I keep reading threads on Supercharged tracking but none of them are really clear if they are doing sessions or 1 hour at a time or what is going on.

So heat exchanger, bigger radiator, oil cooler and I should be good?

 

Yes, you should good to go for 20min sessions no problem.

 

Cool..

To clarify I'm in eastern PA, so hottest days are 90 degrees ambient. Most days are 80s and a lot in 70's ambient.
