My friend has an LS2 Corvette, he's having a heat issue.

The car is automatic, procharged, with a trans cooler, inter cooler and obv a radiator.

He's having issues where the car heat soaks, and his oil temps get really high.

What would be something to solve this issue? Or what would be a good spot to mount an oil cooler, as the front is packed with different cooling items

Thanks!

 

Start by removing the hood blanket. That will save u 10-15 degrees..

 

A couple years back there were alot of issues with prochargers and overheating. One of the factors that made me bypass them and go with Vortech.
Havent heard issues with recent installs but I recall there were fixes to get better flow to the radiator and improve overall cooling. I dont remember exactly what was done but a search(a couple years back) should give step by steps. Or Im sure someone will be able to help whos had the issue themselves.

 

There is a thread on this "heat monster" of how numerous procharger users fixed this.

Did you ever had a Procharger?? I am sure not from your responce to the OP but hearing and experiencing are two different things, I have had Procharger from since 2000 and never had an issue that can't resolved.
I have had D1SC , F1A and now a F1R in my C5 and in my C6 I had a D1SC and now a F1A.
My experience is all about the tune and the Tuner experience with the installation, a Procharger or any unit needs an Oil Cooler, my oil cooler is built with a thermostat switch and an electrical fan onto it so it can be installed away from the front where it is already compact with other stuff, I installed mine under the leftside head light behind the wheel well and it works very well, in the tune the engine cooling fan have to be set to its full capability.
Now whether its a Vortech, Procharger or a Paxton its all Centri's and they all pull air, compressed it and forced it into the intake, compressed air generate heat, hence the reason it goes through an Air to Air intercooler to help cool the air before it is forced into the intake.

Now OP when I first got my car, without doing any modification to it, the car had 100 miles and while I was driving to Carlisle Pa to the vette show in 2008 the outside temp was about 100 degrees and I was seeing 230 degrees on my oil temp guage, now I see about 220 degree with my oil cooler, but it do raises under constant high rev for a few hard blast at high outside temp.
