Can anyone give me a guesstimate of my lubricating oil flow rate to help me size an oil cooler and calculate plumbing system losses?
Engine is a VW A1 (Rabbit, Scirocco) 1600cc 4 cylinder, 5 main brg, solid lifters, bearing clearances slightly bigger than std (~.002"), running SAE 30 or 50 oil. Runs 60+ psi at revs of 3500-7000 RPM, oil temp (after cooler addition!) say 250 Deg F.
Nothing really unusual about engine having said all that, so the flow rate for any roughly similar engine will get me pointed in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
