Car was getting a little warm on the Cruise a few weeks ago so I decided it is time to cool her down a little more.

Car is getting a few new cooling modifications done to it as we speak.
-Up Graded Koyo Radiator
-Nismo Low Temp thermo Stat
-Samco Hoses
-pure water instead of a coolant mix.

Next up (next month)
-Oil Cooler



Think that should do the trick or are there a few more thing you all might recommend?


Thanks,
John

 

Damn, and I expected to see the Jamaican bobsled team!


Cessna (Is disapointed with the mod. Ban him)

 

lol

 

add about 10 % coolant to that mix and some water wetter or purple ice.

the coolant will just let you know if you ever have a small leak, you wont smell it if its just water.

nice man!!!

 

cool. I have used purple ice exclusively in the past, I am going to try Hyper Lube's super coolant this time, since it had such good results in Turbo Magazines test.

 

Dont you laugh at me! I mean it, where are the pictures of the black dudes that won my heart over in 96' (was it?)

 

 

You might consider some upgraded coolant fans (Spal or Flex-a-Lite) and an HKS Fan Controller to lower the turn on temps:

you could always drive around with you front bumper off.

 

Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, come on up, its bobsled time...

(sounds right in my head..)

 

some people you know they can't believe, that Jamaica has a bobsled team!

haha... sounds like a good set of mods for the summer driving. will also be very handy if you are ever circuit track driving.

 

Instead of distilled water, use 100% Evans NPG+. http://www.evanscooling.com/html/npgPls.htm

From my experience, distilled water and water wetter type products cause too much corrosion. I know some people have had good experiences with Water Wetter and Purple Ice, but I wont touch the stuff.

I would put the Oil Cooler in right away, instead of next month.

 

Thankyou for humoring me LOL

 

I just found a local place that has the Evans. I am going to try the water mixture on the cruise this weekend. Then I will switch to the Evans and see what kind of difference it makes temp wise.

 

+1 on Evans.. I use it here in Az. and it is the best ever.. I wouldn't use anything else..

 

Some time ago, I remember some of the SR Cup racers running distilled water with Silkolene CCA in a 5% mix with great results. I guess the WaterWetter and Purple Ice helped keep the temps down, but didn't do a very good job at lubing the water pump, and it was causing issues for the track cars. So some switched to the CCA, and others started running the Evans, both seemed to work better against pump failures on the track.

Distilled water should cause zero corrosion although I've never seen anyone with a street car run straight water before since doing so would not be the smartest thing to do.

 

What did you pay for it? I'm gonna start working on finding some up here.

 

Havent bought it yet, but they are charging $28.00 gallon. It is a place in escondido (sp)

 

i thought this was a thread about the movie (good hook)

sounds like some good mods
