OE shroud as well

Cars today are not the same. They are designed to run hotter for emissions. Transverse engines need an electric fan. If you look at new trucks, they have a Mechanical fan. But, we are all free to do what we want.

Here we go again. From Flokooler, 5000 cfm fans to the original 7 blade fan can cool the baddest motors of them all, and that crap wetter water there’s all kinds of ways to cool a car but I absolutely do not like that fan shroud you posted. I’m not going to get in to any arguments on what’s the...

...of running a 70%water/30%antifreeze blend is a good idea in hot climates. Racing or really hot, just use distilled water and Joe Gibbs, water wetter, blue ice, lucas purple, etc. All of those are simply the corrosion inhibitor package from antifreeze without the ethylene glycol. Evans...

In the extreme AZ heat of 125+ I use conventional green w distilled water and 2 bottles of Water Wetter. I use 70% water, 30% conventional green w 2 bottles of Water Wetter. On the interstate w 180° t-stat, I run 174° all day. 196° in stop n go. 16lb cap

Might check your dash gauge comparing to a digi thermometer. If you want to run it for a while try reducing the ratio of anti-freeze (if you're running a 50/50 mix) and add some water-wetter until you need be concerned about freezing temps. Coolant retains heat so was one of the things (among...

...analyses for the various segments you note: your analysis of the Evans material, the surface tension determination of the specific "water wetter" you measured and the degree of foaming measured and the methology and scale used (from zero thru ?). That way I can make my own determination on...

Does this only work on Mopars? My brother tried this same mix on his 55 Chevy and it did not make it run cooler.

...need for freeze protection at various temperatures. In a perfect world, you'd use DexCool 30%, distilled water 70% and a 1/2 bottle of water wetter. It will make your engine run cooler, have ALL the corrosion protection, but the downside is it won't have freeze protection as low as 50/50...

I would recommend being careful about adding any coolant additive.. I have seen certain times the additive has some chemicals that interact within the block/head passages loosening up some junk clogging things up. Then U have to pull the radiator, and do a total system flush out.. Just my...

I am using a 22” aluminum from ECP, stock shroud, 7 blade fan, oversized crank pulley, 180 degree thermostat, high flow aluminum water pump and I also use wetter water additive. This is on a 440, 30 over, stock 6 pack cam, mild head work, Dino at 395 at wheels. 425 at crank. No problems with...

Add Water Wetter or antifreeze to your radiator. That alone will drop your temperature.

...black horse electric 16" fan (Amazon) kit, 3" universal cowling. Car already had a flex fan. Running 100% water with a track approved water wetter/anti corrosion additive. It was 94 ' F today. Ran it at idle for 45 min. No leaks electric fan never came on stuck at 185'F. Took out for a shake...

...the freezing point. I use a 70/30 mix in AZ where my summer frequents the 120° range and have had 125° days. I supplement 2 pints of Water Wetter in the antifreeze portion. I did notice about a 10° reduction in engine temp in my extreme temps here. As for Aluminum, I've got Aluminum heads...

...radiator with dual 12” electric fans with shroud. New hoses, water pump, 185* thermostat. Straight distilled water with Royal Purple Water Wetter. Aluminum heads on a 426 hemi and 6-71 supercharger. Driving for 15 minutes at 9am in Hell (Arizona) it got up to about 210-215. Both fans were on...

...anode that threads into the lower stop cock female threads since we're mixing aluminum radiator with iron block, and I don't run any water additive. I looked into the water wetter type additives years ago and am not convinced it's a good idea for an aluminum rad. How long have you run this...

I will definitely look into water wetter. I have antifreeze already but hadn't put it in because I didn't wanna have to drain it if something went wrong. Stuff is expensive these day's and it's so easy to just pop off lower radiator hose and let it drain on ground when doing thermostat changes...

Note that water wetter, works best when wetting straight water. Thats what I'd try, it works damn good.

Fan going the right way? Water wetter will drop it a bit too

I guess water wetter is about the only thing I've heard of that was suppose to improve heat transfer in a jacket cooled engine! I spent a good portion of my life building raceboat engines so I never spent a lot of time worrying about the water in the engine, more of how to get it there and keep...
