Still working on getting oil temp down but a friend told me that the screen

on the SCAT tube at the back baffle heading down to the oil cooler might

impede the airflow a bit so I cut it out to see. Gives me about 8 or so

degrees I think. Now I'm going to look at that area a bit more.



For what it's worth went up this morning to see what removing the screen

would do and collected these numbers in cruise:

OAT 72, 3500', MAP 23", RPM 2300, oil 231F, GPH 16.8, 155kt. I better get

those wheel pants on too see what the top speed will be. Climb out from Yuma

(180' MSL) was 2200 FPM. Wow! Hit pattern altitude at the end of the runway.

Keep building.

It might be a pricey remedy, but how about Alex's higher capacity oil cooler?   Especially in the Central and souther tier of the country it might not be bad to add 20% to the cooling capacity of the oil cooler

I'm not familiar with this oil cooler-do you know who carries it?

Al, It's the one made by Airflow Performance. You can buy it direct form 

them http://www.airflow-systems.com/  or you can buy it from Alex D. 

Gary Foster put one on his RV-10 in OK. and reported a drop in oil temps 

vs Van's stock cooler. I ordered and received one, but haven't installed 

it yet. It's a bolt on replacement, the difference is that it has 

significantly more cooling vanes (those zig-zag do-higgies).

Is the 2006X big enough for a stock 260 HP or are most people going with the 2008X for the extra cooling capacity?  (I'm in Oklahoma)

Unless you've come up with an ingenuous way to mount it I don't think the 2008x will fit.

Gary;



I'm just south in Paris, Texas and went for the better cooling oil 

cooler.  Anything to keep the life blood of the engine as cool as 

possible.

I ordered the 2008X about two months ago.  It's considerably bigger than the bolt on replacement 2006X and will not mount on the firewall due to engine mount interference.  I sent the 2008X back and installed the 2006X. The oil temps went down about 8 degrees.  Also can climb at higher VS with the new cooler.  They did tell me if and when they figure out how to mount the 2008X in the RV-10 there would be a good trade-in arrangement.

This would be a great time for someone to reach out to James McClow and get him to post an opinion on Static pressure changes in the airflow, both into and out of the stock VANS or 2006X coolers.  Restrictions reduce airflow which is not a good thing.  A composite duct (replacing SCAT tubing) and some simple mods should produce noticeable improvements to oil heat exchanger efficiencies.  It is obvious as to why it is generally mounted where it is, however, the serpentine routing does not lead to efficiencies of operation.  

   

Does anyone have his email address?

Pacific Oil Coolers also has options for replacing the stock Niagara.

Thanks Deems, Fred and Mark.  It's good to know exactly the models that will and will not fit.  Want to get it right the first time around.
