Could possibly do with a slightly higher rated oilstat to keep the oil temp up around 95.

Depends where you're putting it, how much airflow it'll see etc.

I'm having to do a new oil cooler setup on mine at the moment...

Thinkauto and Webster Race Engineering are good sources for parts

Bear in mind that the 170 has a laminova as standard.

Which doesn't like sustained hard use

My oil temps were 120-125 degrees C after 2 laps of Oulton Park...

Hence remember to factor in its removal if your fitting a great big oil cooler, you tart

I wouldnt have a clue what the oil temps are on mine.

ive had a quick look on the net but the only stat i can find is the 80 degree one, would a 90 be better ? the cooler will be going where the spot lights go on a frst bumper so will get plenty cold air

Speak to thinkauto/webster race and ask for a higher rating
