Reply With QuoteRather than look at an attempt to get the water to cool the oil more, would it not be better to have more oil side area? Maybe add another small laminova cooler?
I've seen those restrictors tried before Neil, be very cautious, as all it did was cause water overheating by restricting the flow too much.
You can get different size restriction holes in them though. I'd look at making something up to make a small change to the standard size and see the difference it makes, before going to the full pinhole turbulator or whatever it is they call them.
thats the one I saw just cause overheating.

Yes that could be the best idea to test ....

I dont really want to add another cooler It jut adds to the complexity of the plumbing - Maybe if I had one I would try it. The Best alternative would be to use a more efficient cooler like the ECD54 cooler.
But for now I will try a restrictor. I wont be going for anything like a full restrictor, I have ordered one of the partial restrictors as shown here, as they are cheap
Just to get the sizes from so that i can make some at work, probably looking at trying 1 or 2mm reduction in the central bore... Oil temp is less than 130C, so I dont need much improvement.
