Hello-
of course even though im certain my car would do 200kph it could not sit there to long without frying the heads and boiling the oil but im interested what your temps where at the speeds you mention shad and how you have combated heat in the stock flat fan housing?
Well... Nickies :-).
I did some other things, too, but nothing particularly unique or esoteric that would near as much the difference the Nickies made. For example, I completely removed the stock oil cooler and rerouted its air back to the heads/cylinders... a very slight help for the heads/cylinders... but not much. Really, the Nickies are what did all the legwork.
As for the oiling system, I have an 11x11 Long Enterprises (i.e. "Mesa-Style") oil cooler with a 10" fan mounted vertically ahead of the left-rear axle, and it is plumbed with a true oil flow thermostat so it gets no flow when cold and 100% flow when hot (unlike stock systems that bypass when hot...). This takes care of the oil problem, but many other people use setups like this, too. Oil temperature is the easy one to cure... it's the heads/cylinders that cost money :-).
Take care,
