Turbo Mini Forums

hey

my temp is around 3/4 all the time. ive got a chunky rad what i want to fit but the inlet and outlet are a bigger diamiter so i need some bigger hoses but dont know where to get them?

also im not running an intercooler atm, would one bring the running temp down?

and any other cooling tips would be nice as ive got to drive 200 miles for l2b next week.

cheers

13.95 1/4 mile on a 2.95 fd. Carnt be that hard to beat!

As long as it dont get any higher, I wouldnt worry.
You could try a cooler thermostat

I seriously doubt it!

Best place to get the hoses from is ebay. Measure up what you need and have a look, they have nearly every combo you could possibly need. You could probably just use some straight reducers, then keep the rest of the hose standard. I always use autoperformance as they are cheap and quick at delivery.

Have you checked to see if your thermostat is openening at the right temp?

Check your ignition timing too, if its too retarded that can cause hot running, and cause it to be sluggish to drive too.

As long as the IC isn't causing warm air to flow into the rad, it can only help bring the running temps down.

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

an intercooler is not the icing on the cake! ..... ITS MORE CAKE!

use a 74 deg stat from minispares and drill 6 x 5mm holes around the outside
