A simple yea or nay would suffice. Please list how much boost you're running and the type of driving you do. Also whether or not you have retained air conditioning.

If yes, simply list what you've added - such as aftermarket radiator cap, thermostat, thermo-switch, remote oil cooler, aftermarket radiator, etc.

I'm running 9psi on a greddy kit - stock itr cooling system other than mugen radiator cap.

Finland

I went with Fal high flow fans and a 1.3 bar rad cap, that's it.

type of driving, mostly very spirited street driving with occasional drag racing.

I removed the ac system, including the condenser.

permacool oil cooler,greddy High pressure cap, 70/30 water coolant mixture, Fluidyne radiator, ceramic coated manifold and downpipe and turbine housing, ducting in the front bumper to intercooler -radiator, no AC, 3 drops of soap, removed hood weatherstripping.

Still running hotter than I like it to be, it just takes longer to get up to 245-250 F.

Damn tubalar manifold! Damn Hot florida weather and high boost!

I guess I am going to give up my sleeper look and get a vented CF hood next.

Negatory there ghostrider. I'm running a water-cooled turbo too. You know the setup.

FOrSfEd

Fluidyne Dual Core Radiator, 1.3 Bar cap. Autozone 1200cfm fan, 60/40 water/coolant mix...... ac, stock fan switch and thermostat. Temps stay pretty cool at around 150-175. Boost mostly on the street hard at times. Have not made it to the drag strip as of yet.

done

C&R Radiator, Mr. Gasket 14" 1800cfm fan, Honda coolant, b&m oil cooler, jet hotted turbo, andnoized piping/ intercooler.

alot of daily driving. Temps stay at 190-194 Degrees.

Louisiana weather 93-98 degrees.

I have a teg and I downgraded to a used Del Sol VTEC (dual core-half size) radiator. I did upgrade to a slimline fan in a pusher setup because of my manifold. I don't have A/C. I use it as a DD and race occasionally on the weekends. I run 10PSI on a t3/t04e 57trim on a b18b

It works great and even in full summer heat the fan only comes on when I am stationary

Any of you guys try Evans coolant? It really works pretty good, and is very low pressure, so you don't need a high pressure cap. Doesn't boil till like 380 degrees or something with no pressure on it!

FOrSfEd

any links where to purchase it or read about it?

Upgraded to dual radiator core & I have a invader cf hood & it really helps keep underhood temps low...

raene

I downgraded from a full-size single core CRX radiator to a less-than-half-size single core Neon radiator in order to fit the turbo It's been fine so far but I'm replacing it with a dual core verrrry soon!

Doesn't Evans coolant have a higher viscosity which means more stress on the water pump and more parasitic drag due to increased pumping losses?

so more water cools better? and what does the 3 drops of soap do?

as for me: double thick radiator, slim line fan... and maybe some soap in the future.

As long as the water is not boiling, it cools much better than propylene glycol. The trick is to keep it below 100C.

3 drops liquid hand soap = redline water wetter

decreases surface tension so water can make better contact with ALuminum . Don't use more than 3 drops because you don't want a foam party. Cavitation = .

does the job for me + higher weight oil.. minumum of 5w40 to 15w50

still running a/c.. i got slim fan on radiator, that was purchased due to fitment issues, i dont know if it does a better job than stock.
