How much cooldown does the engine require throughout a typical track session, compared to e.g. tires and brakes?
Do you plan to keep the OEM oil cooler, or install a separate radiator?

No updates.
Still on factory oil.
Still on the factory oil heat exchanger
Zero additional cooldown needed.
Unknown, as I don't know what's needed.
If you'd like to fund the R&D, I can probably get all of this done quickly, within a week. I'd need to hire a CANBUS expert to sniff and identify the relevant channels, as well as a fabricator to figure out an oil-air mounting solution, factory cooler delete, thermostatic plate solution, and line routing. I'm sure some time can be saved by having new existing GReddy and Jackson oil cooler kits on hand, but that alone is already easily a $5000 bill.
Remember, I have to work a job too, and only have so much resources to put towards this car.
