[s-cars] heat exchanger instead of the oil cooler

[Theodore Chen]

an oil cooler is a heat exchanger.  i presume you are talking about
using a water-to-oil heat exchanger instead of an air-to-oil heat
exchanger?

no experience with it on an S-car, but companies like Griffin and Howe
make radiators with built-in heat exchangers in the side tanks.  i'm
sure there must be similar companies in europe that make radiators for
race cars.

have you considered fan-forced airflow on the existing oil cooler?
