Thanks for sharing your journey brother,!!! Congrats on the PB, and glad you can see more time to be shaved. I can imagine a PWR radiator combined with that secondary radiator or if there is a small PWR radiator that can be fitted upfront that would be sick. Several years back my buddy was helping build the 25hrs. of Thunderhill Porsche with Flying Lizards guys, and they had 3 PWR radiators up front.

While developing the 2nd radiator kit, here are a few things we have tried and it sort of helped. Maybe it could be helpful to other FK2/FK8/FL5 users (besides installing the 2nd radiator) - vented hood - undertray removal - set both fans to high speed via hondata - a suitable racing coolant (beware if it freezes in your area) - single or dual oil cooler setup - a big grille to allow more air in (or upgrade to the 2020 model grille) - and if needed, off the AC but set tomax temp to use it to remove some coolant heat

your prl intercooler and hel oil cooler is blocking air into the radiator, it’s pretty obvious. On top of that you should be running e85 to drop the temps on such a big turbo. Lack of air flow is the obvious reason in combination higher turbo temps.

21:30 1. Good save. It doesn't seem it was intentional, but good instincts. 2. Next time you want to do it intentionally, you may need higher speeds for that particular corner. 3. I intentionally do lift off oversteer in my fk8 at around 120 to 140 kph (See my channel) For your corner, around 130 may be needed. You decelerated from 90 mph to around 65 mph. Why? Notice : You basically paused mid-drift, as you need more power for a more consistent oversteer curve. ~Albeit good job saving the car!!!
