I own a BRZ with a Turbo setup with an intercooler sitting in front of the stock radiator, and based on oil temps I have experienced on my car after an HPDE event recently would seem to indicate an oil cooling is strongly advisable. We had ten 20mins sessions over two days, and oil temp, using 5w40 logged with the stock PiD would reach 280F for for last 10-12 mins of each session. My water temp reached 212F, and occilated between 197 and 212F. I did not notice any reduction in car performance in any of the sessions.

I use my vehicule all year round as daily driver and experience cold canadian winters, and would appreciate attending other HPDEs in the future, maybe twice a year or so. As it is my daily car to go to work, long term and overall reliability is very high of the priority list.

In my situation, would I be better of with a dual radiator/oil cooler set-up, or have an external air to oil cooler, possibly also with an upgraded radiator ? What would offer enough cooling with maximum reliability?

any feedback would be appreciated.

The Jackson Racing dual radiator/ oil cooler is the best bang for you buck from what I've noticed. But if it's just a track car, and since you are turbocharged, I'd honestly go with a regular oil cooler. I believe the stock radiator is good enough unless you are seeing high water temps too.
