I have a Stroked SR Blktp. GT35R Top Mount. 9-1 Comp. Killer FMIC. Similar to JR's Setup on Blue S14 if you caught the article. Puttin 476 Down on dyno dynamics. Temp gauge creeps. Running Koyorad. Any suggestions. My friend just tried a dual pass off of ebay I think, and loves it. any help would be mucho appreciated.

Stock Sr oilpan custom built dual pass eoc and accumulator. Complete system holds 7qts. also Nismo oil pump. Oil temps seem to be fine right around 82 C when beaten on it. Coolant temps climb hard.

The car does great daily drivin, except hot hot days. Or especially when I rip on it it the mtn's or after a few hard laps. Just dont think the current rad setup will take the addad hp.
