cooling mod idea
#27
At my current setup, town drive about 1hr is 95 degree Celsius on the water temp. Highway is 85. ambient = 32-34. No mods on anything that link to the cooling except throttle bypass and relocate the filter box + battery.

a secondary water cooler will also lower oil temps. Watch closely the oil temps--you dont want the oil temp to be more than 20degrees hotter than the coolant usually. when race temps lose a oil cooler their oil temps climb 30-40 degrees.
do a 180F thermostat also or you will not be able to take full advantage of a more efficient cooling.

rev it up
I have been thinking of using the window wash bottle as an additional cooling tool on hot track days.
It involves simply disconnecting the hose and running a pipe to the intercooler. When required then pull the washer washer stalk to drip water onto the intercooler fins. For improved cooling performance methonal can be added to the water. Hopefully pulling the wiper fuse may be able to stop the wiper from operating.
Has anyone tried this idea.

sorry to take this old thread off topic, but do you guys know if the mazsport fan mod will affect the warranty? I still got an extended warranty, but still want better cooling. Thanks.
