There is only air cooling. There is nothing else. If you can dump the excess heat through the water radiator,
then its a great idea, and works just fine. Oil temps above 160 degrees cost power. The cooler the better.
You will need 1/3 more water cooling than you started with to make it work. You cannot fool Mother Nature.
Question from the peanut gallery. I don't plan to use a oil/water exchanger, but aren't they counterproductive?
The efficiency of the cooling relies on deltaT. The best situation is having the hottest coolant interfacing with the air, and it has always been my understanding that the oil exits the engine hotter than the water. Will an oil/water exchanger reduce the overall efficiency of the system by allowing the exit air, on average, to leave with less BTUs?
