Default Those of you with Koyo Radiators and Nismo P/S Coolers ... how much fluid do I need?

In order to keep things cool during the summer track season, I am going to be installing a Koyo radiator and Nismo P/S cooler (along with a Nismo Oil cooler).

I plan to use a mix of distilled water and Redline Water Wetter for the coolant (my car never sees below freezing temps in SoCal). Anyone forsee issues with that approach? Also, with the Koyo installed, how much water and water wetter will I need?

Finally, with the Nismo P/S cooler installed -- much p/s fluid do I need? Is there any special type of fluid that I should get?

Thanks for the replies.

I used nissan power steering fluid with my cooler. Just installed the radiator the other day, I think I used 2 containers of prestone 50/50 if my memory is correct.

Hey man,
Ask Eric at Street Image. He did mine. I remember it took a LOT of coolant.

I think you'll need 2 gals. coolant and 1 qt. PS fluid. If you plug the PS lines it doesn't take much.

Greg at GSC is telling me 2 gallons of distilled water and 1 bottle of Water Wetter.

I am having Technosquare do the install as they are doing a bunch of other stuff with my car next week (including Crawford package and dyno tuning).
