Today was 85f i went hooning around for a good 30mins hitting boost/doing pulls 30+ times pretty much every chance i got. 12.5-13psi boost. Coolant never went over 199F, oil never over 215F. Was using ecutek bluetooth to monitor everything so couldn’t monitor my trans temps like I normally do but those eventually get the hottest but takes a while still never seen 230s for that though.

Anyways my cooling solutions
Mishimoto radiator
Mishimoto fan shroud
Oil cooler with 198F thermostat (intentionally setup to have little intake airflow but has good exhaust flow)
Trans cooler with 180F thermostat (intentionally setup to have little intake airflow but has good exhaust flow)
Water meth injection + I run E40-45
Hood vents
Hood scoop
Beatrush Vented under tray/skid plate
Perrin cold air intake fully gold tape heat wrapped entire intake up to TB
I got beatrush front crash bar mostly for weight, but it seemed to have dropped IATs a little as well.
I still use oem trans heat exchanger to warm trans up quicker
And i also use the “oem forestor heat exchanger” to warm my oil temps up quicker.

I have designed/chosen my setup to still be able to warm my oil up in 30F weather in a reasonable amount of time since my commute is only 10-12mins mostly freeway. But also handle 30+ min hooning session in 90F summer weather with no problems. I would redesign my oil/trans cooler intake airflow if i wanted to track it as this is probably not 100% up to task at least to my standards but I don’t track for now. For now my goal is the ultimate DD which has pretty much been achieved especially from a temperature standpoint.
What hood vents are you running? Do you have rain guards?
