Your test of driving WOT up to 100mph or whatever will most likely put more heat into the engine than your extended part throttle testings.
If you want to test the system properly, then you need to sit at WOT for extended periods of time.
I think it's great that people want to do tests and show the results to the community, but please try and ensure they're actually worthwhile or it just ends up misleading people.  |
Can you explain to me how going between 5-7K back and forth is not loading the engine? I didn't keep the throttle constant at 6K and called it a day (kind of hard to do BTW for 8 minutes). I punched it back and forth to keep it at those RPM and of course, I wanted the engine to be loaded. If you read my first post, I said "this is not the final testing nor the definitive testing, just a start". I also said "the real test is at the track", like Robispec did.... Moreso, if you look at my recommendations, a DD should not need an oil cooler but a track car I recommend an oil cooler. Do you think those recommendations are not accurate?
If my WOT to 100 mph put more heat then the other test, why did the oil/coolant temperature stayed in check, but for the "track" test the oil temp rose like a b*tch?
