I agree, I'd say upgrade the oil cooler, and do anything you can to keep heat in the exhaust side of the turbo and that should cover your problem...
 
your going to need to go with a DIY external cooler...shouldnt be hard to put your hand on a universal kit. You will need to go with a higher volume pump which i would think you should already have (Doc B puts together one if you havent already done it)

Are you still running air conditioning? It may be time to ditch the ac condensor blocking all the fresh air coming in the front of the car.

I Still have AC, and no way i will take it off, in here in Spain Summer is just INSANE without AC
 
*shrug* hey ya gotta make some comfort cut backs to go big. Your probably not getting enough airflow between probably a huge FMIC, PS cooler, AC condenser, Thick radiator, and a very hot turbo sitting very close to the radiator
 
THe Protege runs hot by nature. Running a stand alone turbo cooler will NOT fix your problems. Get a good radiator, a true triple pass like the Ron Davis, or a double pass like the PWR. The Corksport is just an open rad like the stock one, not much of an upgrade. Get everything ceramic coated inside and out o nthe exhaust side, keep as much heat in the echaust and out of the engine bay as you can.

Well Ceramic coating doesnt exist in here, and sending my turbo and dowpipe or what ever back to USA for it will be ridiculous expensive.... who sells ron Davis Rads.. ???
 
1. You already have a turbo cooler stock, although I'm sure others are better. I personally run a Flex-a-lite cooler and the install is fairly easy, and I'm not even turbo. Can't speak about my oil temperatures as I never reconnected the oil temp gauge, but my coolant temperature are fin. Either way there is no point in comparing since I'm not even turbo'd
2. You got to do a little research; I found a pwr (and awr) in like 30seconds on protegegarage...speedcircuit also carries the AWR, and since you like Crossover, they ALSO carry the PWR...
3. I'm about 99% sure Brian does NOT have a separate cooler. He has a slightly customized radiator from Ron Davis and a huge intercooler, that's it AFAIK...His turbo isn't very big, it's only tuned VERY well and still pushes in the 400hp range.

the PS cooler does not affect the cooling of anything, it's just a tiny little line that goes in front of the rest. In no way does it affect cooling...
 
the ps cooler is still something that will slightly obstruct flow or at least add to the heating up of the air in that area. At this kind of level though every little bit will count for something
 
It will affect the flow a very small bit, but when compared to an external oil cooler, transmission cooler or turbo intercooler, that line's effect is minute at most. If that line is enough to cause problems, then there is a bigger problem in terms of overall cooling. because ANYTHING in the way could cause a lot more cooling drop then the PS line...
 
^I'd didn't think he had an extra cooler. Also I want to see a dyno before he can claim 400hp.

If you havn't upgrade your oil cooler do that....
 
I used a B&M kit that I got from Summitracing.com

I find that for stuff that coolers and pumps, Summit has EVERYTHING. Just surf their website and you will be amazed. They have MANY different options for oil coolers.

I also like DEI core to. They have a wide range of sizes to fit in any space. I used one for my tranny cooler....
 
Oil cooler above FMIC. (black) It gets it air from the upper air dam....

And if you look carefully the tranny cooler is under the FMIC. It gets its air from a scoop installed on my Splitter. Oil is pump via a Tilton pump mounted on the frame beside the driverside wheelwell.

I don't see how this could be true... there are too many industrial and commercial advantages to it for no one to provide the service..

I have an idea may interest you, you put a pre-turbo cooler, its the stackplate type transmission oil cooler, put it inline before the turbo oil inlet line. This has to be custom made. I ran this 2 years and it sure cools down the turbo alot! hell the oil fed to the turbo from block is pretty hot already. So you cool it down the feed to turbo. Ive seen no one do this like me, but it works. Just my idea.
