Walter & all,
I have run the Canton
oil T-stat and canister filter for this past season. Very pleased. Using an Earl's
oil cooler and AN-12 lines and fittings.
The system brings the
oil temps to the 90c range for most driving. Spirited driving will take it to the 100-105c range where the T-stat starts passing oil to the cooler. With road track use (4-6,000 rpm for 20 minutes) the oil temps go to the 115-125c range, this is where it ran while on the track w/o the T-stat.
I have yet to get the oil (
synthetic) to any temps that would be considered excessive.
Disclaimer: The car is a Superformance not an ERA so I won't speculate on how to fit it in. I built a bracket that attaches to the front frame crossmember that holds both the T-stat and the filter.
