Not trying to be an ass, I just don't want this guy thinking that "if I keep the power at 280, my car will be completely safe!"
If you're keeping stock fueling components and running 93, I wouldn't even bother with an oil cooler for a daily driver. Get the data to support that it's needed first, an oil cooler seems nice until you have a leak and it goes unnoticed.
If you want it reliable, change as few things as possible and have a nice tune. It'll be great  |
I was trying to simplify it for the OP. With an F1 engine builder testing it and simplifying it to a BHP number is to reduce the variables for the regular Joe who does not want to think of 10 variables. Since HKS is a Centrifugal kit not PD , so low end torque is a moot point. Regarding the other variables you mention , frequent oil change is something I mention. He is using stock HKs tune , so while it may not be perfectly mated to his car , will be a good enough neutral tune for their set up. So net net, its all okay for OP.
