(Celsius) But I can check with him. Te issue was, it would get hotter as you're on the straights, but wouldn't cool back down enough in the twisties. So it would get hotter each lap. I probably exaggerated the 5 laps. That was about the point it needed the heater on. I still kept going. You could probably use it for 10 lap sessions at a stretch. I'm not happy to have a setup like that though.

Christchurch isn't excatly a hot place either. That day it was late Spring, 22 deg C give or take.

Yes we had the right fluid in the car. And we'd gotten all the air bubbles out of the system.

We went and talked with my tuner and he suggested trying a better pump and larger heat exchanger. But I was over it at that point.
How noticeable was the power loss?
