(Edit) I am trying to refocus this thread to DME temp control logic only. For those who are newcomers to this thread you may want to skip straight to post #51 and pickup there. Thanks! (/Edit)
(Edit 3/18/19) This discussion has now morphed into all things cooling related to the N54 for track use. Please discuss water cooling, intake air temps, oil temps, etc...(/Edit)
Looking to get data points from those who have data logged their coolant and engine oil temps during extended track use. What I mean by extended track use is 20 to 30+ minutes continuous road course driving prefered. If for only a few laps, (Time Trial) please note. Also, please let me know what cooling mods you have to associate with those numbers.
Here is an example @Asbjorn posted in another thread:
MHD Setting: stock cooling
7in FMIC (downgraded from 7.5 to avoid covering part of the coolant radiator)
CSF coolant radiator
Additional engine oil cooler (part of semi-dry oil sump system)
95C oil cooler thermostat
100F day (AC on) - Ningbo Circuit
After one hot lap:
Peak coolant: 246F
Peak oil: 280F
Peak IAT: 167F
63F day (AC off) - Ningbo Circuit
Peak coolant: 221F (only monitored during the first 20min session)
Peak oil: 260F (definitely never saw 130C at any time today)
