I'm running stock sleeve w/ top mount making 550 whp on pump & trying to figure out what's the best way to run cooler. 195 to 210 coolant temps running heater.
The front mount restricts ALL air to rad & think I'm going to cut the top of the front bumper & make a shroud & would like to see what others are doing.
This is not a daily, just a weekend warrior seeing short spurts & don't want to push it more then I already am.
Thanks for any pos input.

 

By the way I will run it as soon as I get my T1 catch can (endyne def not enough) & I trust the input from this forum over all others.
Thanks

 

..Things that will help you run cooler.

1- High temp coating for the manifold, DP, and Turbine housing.
2- Turbo turbine blanket
3- Shroud for your Aftermarket aluminum rad.
4- Water wetter
5- Vented hood
6- High powerd fan
7- Low temp thermostat or No thermostat or drilled stock one

 

What is watter wetter?
Thanks for the help, I have a good fan & will check the thermostat, or just remove. Coatings sound like a great idea, who do you guys use to coat? Plan on venting & making a shroud, just want to see others pics & ideas.
Thanks

 

seaerch the spal 13in thread or overheating problems. I've made threads on your questions.

 

Water Wetter is made by Redline you can get it out of most part stores, its a coolant additive that help lower coolant temps, it worked great in my dad's 69 gto it always ran hot and never did after the additive but I used it in my car and I still ran hot, but I have a cheap $50 fan and no shroud, so that definately had something to do with it.

 

whats yur setup making that power on stock sleeves on pump... ive seen 500plus on stock sleeves but not on pump. not hating or anything just curious

 

Interested in how this turns out and what you're up to.

I'm looking in the future to probably do Upper 500whp on stock sleeves to see what happens. But it won't be on pump. Just feeling out what options I may have to keep temps down or what I can expect.

 

wait nevermind i looked at yur name and from the a2 part im gessing k series haha that makes more sense! k allday

 

I use to run K-series & made over 500 on pump with that as well.
If you look on Evans site you'll see my graph, except I pieced the kit together.
Stock sleeve gsr, ls crank, weisco 8.5.1, manley rods, mild port head, developmental pro 1's (huge gains with these), edelbrock im, rc 1000cc, 1 fab top mount, T4 35r, 3" straight thru, FR backdoor ic, 2.5 charge pipes, welded tial v60 to mani, which makes for one hell of a spark @ rev limit.
I pieced the kit together thru the HT classified section using proven parts.
I have a flex fan I didn't use because the bend I had to make on the dp, but I'm going to mod something because the fan has an intigrated shroud, we'll see how she holds.
Thanks for the help.
