Anyone on here have any personal expierences running a meth car with no radiator. I have a hard time even getting the car to temp for a run, and thought this might be an option.

 

I know for a FACT that mark brauning dosn't run one they just run coolant in the block to keep things cirulating.

 

also bryan's car is radiator-less keep in mind both cars run on meth.
And so is bruanings.

 

What about all motor on gas?

 

thanks guys that solves that, no more radiator for me.

 

was thinking about the same thing both our cars run on meth. i think its a good idea!!!

Why? I know of an all motor car from NJ that runs on gas and doesnt use a radiator, The car is only running for a whopping 20 seconds at a time..

I would feel much safer running no radiator w/ meth than no radiator w/ gas, since meth has teh cooling charictoristics gas dosn't

wtf was that for?????

 

BEcause mostly everyone knows that meth has a better cooling effect., but that doesnt mean that there are mother**ckers out there that dont use gas + no radiator

 

did i say there wasn't no i didn't. i stated a fact that not EVERYONE knows, no need to jump up in my **** like that for saying something that is true.

 

I haven't ran a radiator for over 2 years. No problems. Darrell fills our blocks with Hard-Bloc which actually helps dissipate some of the heat. We run methanol now, but ran it this way on gas also.

Scott

 

Have you ever had a problem with the hard-bloc cracking or separating?

 

It cracked/separated one time only on the head, block afaik has been fine.

 

We run methonal and no radiator.

don't worry about him. he thinks he is the know it all of all know it alls

 

Scott you say you guys fill your head and blocks no water or cooling at all? just curious.

 

go for it.. btw nice looking car rob.. it looks like a full race version of my street car.

 

I know Darrell *** from along time ago and I know that he used to fill the block up make it solid and then just run coolant through the head of the car. He did that on Brent Rau's engine and he did that on his old setup on the green Neon that he used to run.

 

no radiator is fine but you must run a catch can because there will be pressure created by the water or coolant or evian waterless coolant from the heat if you are going to dyno or during the run alway's let out pressure after the run.

 

NHRA Pro Stock Bikes dont use radiators and they have to run race gas. The have vaccuum pumps on them to suck out some engine pressure also.

Thanks for all the responses from everyone.
How do you plumb in a catch can on a radiatorless system?

 

use a regulator with guage and set it for like 30psi and if you reach that pressure it would let the pressure out into the can place a small hole on the very top of can but on the side away from the hose going to the can.
