I took the car to the track last week. The track is fairly short with many turns. The outside temp was 27 degree celcius (80F).
After a few hard laps (trying to catch up with a 911 turbo
), my oil temp reached 130C (266F) 
I will definitely get an oil cooler. I will need your expert opinions on this.
I have 2 options of
1. Get a complete oil cooler kit, which has an adaptor sandwich between the oil filter.
2. Disconnect the oil feed line into the sc. Connect it to a front mount oil cooler. Connect another oil line from the front mount cooler back to the sc. This will cool the oil and at the same time feed the SC with cooler oil to prolong it's life. This is easier to do and relatively cheaper.
Does anyone know what's the oil pressure where the vortech sc oil feed line tap in ie the oil pressure sensor?
Is this enough oil pressure to drive the oil through a or any oil cooler?
What is a good oil cooler?
Which way should I do it guys?
Many thanks in advance.

I would use a seperate cooler with a sandwich adapter between the filter and factory cooler. I wouldn't want to stick anything in the blower feed line, it could cause a pressure drop/restriction to the blower.

Has anyone any experience with such a "sandwich adapter - oil cooler"?

The oil coolers that Iv'e seen have an adapter that looks like the above pic. (even V8 american iron) It's sandwiched between the filter and the factory oil cooler. I'm pretty certain Greddy makes an oil cooler like this that would work. Of course line routing and mounting the heat exchanger would have to be custom. You might want to look into Setrab, Spearco, Earl's, Greddy to compare.

I just checked out www.Greddy.com It appears that there oil cooler uses a relocated oil filter, not a adapter between the filter.

Another question:
Can anyone else report high oil temps with a supercharger equipped S2K?
Especially at long travels with hitting often the VTEC-Area?

I don't really know, I don't have a oil temp gauge. I remember Yellowstreak posting that he saw elevated oil temps on his track only car, without a SC.
