I dunno... It is getting cooled, just not directly. Eventually, it gets cooled because it is such a small percentage of the pumped oil. I could try shifting it to a fitting post-cooler, but I really don't think that these water cooled turbos are getting that hot considering the sheer amount of...

Folks, Thanks for all of the insight. You are hitting on major concerns of mine, and validating a lot of suspicions. A couple things to consider… 1) Turbos are water cooled. I will test using a pyrometer the exit temp of the oil drains on the turbos tomorrow when we test the boat again 2)...

How does one get a hold of Terry Dyson? I am of the mind that all the analysis I need is on the temp gauge. I am trying to figure out how to lower the temp, while also finding out if the oil is getting too hot for longevity. When I re-locate the oil temp probe, it may totally "solve the...

For anyone interested, here are some links to pictures of the engine, oil system and rigging... Trident Engine

The temp would be as sustained as I would have fuel. I am running 260 at low cruise, and well over 300 on high performance passes. Keep in mind that a "pass" on this boat would be something in the neighborhood of 5 minutes at over 5500 RPM. Seems warm to me, but another motor builder I respect...
