i am thinking of switching to the evans coolant. was curious who has tried it and if it was all they are claiming. it is not cheap stuff at about $30 a gallon and it has to be used straight with no mixer, so i would hate to waste the money. on a positive side, it looks like some pretty wicked stuff and could help alot of people including myself.

the technical page is a good read and makes alot of sence. think i just talked myself into giving it a shot.

 

I was planning on running this to see if it would help with the steam pockets being formed around the cylinders.

 

don't know much about it.

I use honda coolant which was made specifially for aluminum engines

 

Water is the best coolant. The antifreeze makers will tell you that Glycol-based coolants raise the boiling point, but even using a 50/50 water/glycol mixture, with a 15-psi pressure cap the boiling point is only 15 degrees more than plain water. If your car is not driven under freezing conditions, run pure distilled water plus a corrosion inhibitor.

Regardless you must make sure that the coolant at the sensor does not exceed 199F....... 194F is better otherwise the ecu will retard timing beginning at 200F and an additional degree per 5F above 200F.

Water has a specific heat of 1.00 and EG is 0.571 so 50/50 is 0.7855

 

we can solve the claim that coolant raises the boiling point by taking two pots, one with water and one with coolant - same size pot, same amount in each one and boil them on a stove and note which one boils first

I for one think it will take more heat to boil coolant.

oh and obviously the water has to be distilled water

 

my main concern for this is the raised boiling point to help the coolant not boil where a heat spike may be occuring in the heads or block. the evans racing team has half their radiator cooling holes taped up to prove their point.
seems like a good way to take care of it.

 

I've read about this coolant a long time ago I just wasn't sure if it was real or not. I guess I'll wait for you to try it and report back.
