Servus from Nürnberg!
Sorry for writing in English but my German is Nicht Gut. I've been following this forum for the last year as I slowly build up my Abarth 595 into an occasional track tool (while staying within TüV certification).
This summer, I've had some issues with both intake and oil temperatures at Schlüsselfeld and Bilsterberg track days. Mild heat soak would set in after several stints: the air intake temperature would continue to rise (stock filter box) while the engine started burning oil.
Does anyone have any experience with Orra Racing's oil cooler or low mounted intake? Is the quality okay and do they work reliably? Has anyone else involved with track driving found other solutions or manufacturers to help with heat management?
For reference, my engine power is stock, but I have tried to keep heat soak to a minimum with hood vents, turbo blanket, downpipe blanket, and Gtech intercooler.
Thanks for any advice. No need to reply in English as my Google translate works fine!
