Default Two Questions Turbo ITR

1) what coolant is everybody running in there turbo car for road racing? I'm running a half core Koyo rad with spal fan.
2) I have a ITR and they come with a power steering cooler. When i was mounting my intercooler i had to remove it so the intercooler will fit. Is it ok just to loop it or should i figure out a way to re install the power steering cooler?

Either OEM , Toyota Pink , Evans waterless, or just water, in some cases. Sometimes the track officials may have rules

Im not sure what you mean.
Im speaking og usual G12 G12+ or G13.
It has better anticorrosion and its better for the waterpump.

We don't measure coolant like that as a general principle in the U.S.

I was asking for a photo of the brand you're referring to.

Cool. I think i will stick with the honda coolant since I have some and just add some water wetter for extra insurance. I just hope my radiator is big enough. What are you guys thinking about the power steering cooler?

Some people re-route it an connect it as though power-steering were only on when in tighter corners. I don't remember the exact procedure, but the write was made about 10 years ago. Otherwise, many Type Rs that kept power steering did so, without any issues with intercooler fitment. It could be that your intercooler was not a "universally fit" one.

I think that's VolksWagen coolant. Supposed to be good stuff.
