Is that Redline water wetter stuff any good to keep the engine temps down, and safe to use. I went to the local automotive store and they claim it is.
Thanks Glen

I have this stuff in my car along with a Nismo Thermostat.. Don't notice any difference in cooling.. You can probably pour it into the overflow tank but this might make your coolant level too high without taking any out..Otherwise I don't see why you can't unless someone else can chime in..

Oh and the other additive he's talking about is better than redline...from what I've "heard"

Well I have run it in my car since this first oil change. When I got the turbo installed I got a water temp gauge that measures water temp at the outlet hose from the block so this is a good indicator of water temp inside the motor since this is where it exits and goes back into the radiator. With the stock thermostat, a mostly water and REdline Water Wetter Split my coolant temps under normal coniditions and normal dirving were around 195. Under hard driving or extreme heat water temps went as high as 205. I then removed my stock thermostat. This is how the car is now. No thermostat at all. Same fluid setup. Water temp is around 180 during normal driving. Around 195 under hard drving. When I drove up to BOTI in July the ambient temp was 105 and I had my AC on full blast during a 2 hour raodtrip followed by a few full boost runs. Highest temp seen was 205. So did it make a difference? Maybe but removing my thermostat all together did more then just the Water Wetter.
