thoughts?

 

I bought the Ford 19x22 crossflow from KMJ. That will open up some space where I'll drop in an oil cooler next to the rad. I had a double pass cross flow and it worked very well.

 

how well does it work and handle temps, daily driving, track - road race if you do any?
Thanks

 

I have yet to install the single pass. But based on the double pass I was using, I figured this would be more than adequate. I never got the dubl on track, but I had it out in hottest part of a southern summer day (high 90s) after numerous consecutive boosted runs and then drove a good 15 minutes in stop-n-go traffic and it never got hot. AAMoF the fan only came on when the car was stopped and didn't run that long. I did have a large spal 2700cfm fan and an extractor hole in the hood which I'm sure helped.

How'd you learn to solder with matches?

 

lol.

I'm assuming it was for the heatshrink.


you know what works better? a lighter...

you kno what works EVEN better than that? a stove burner.

 

Yeah I need to buy a lighter

 

What works best is a heatgun...

 

whoa there. we dont suggest proper tools here.

 

thats a great tip there. Saving replays after races is a good thing.

Enduance racing 2 hour or more a race usually.
Smaller races are around hour long. I may also start doing iracing as well.

The matches look vintage...you may be able to pawn them for said lighter.

Now THAT is a workbench.

 

I bet those pedals would work in the Miata with some help from the green hose.

 

don't tidy up before taking pictures... mouse pad is lol.

 

Looking at you desk, explains a lot re: the zipties on your car.

Tidy you are not.

 

I'm such a traditions breaker. Here is what I use to fill the connectors with hot glue and make it a little more robust.



Notice the (500W) in there. That means that it is dispensing hot glue in about a minute. And continues to do so non-stop (or until the stick is gone or you get blisters on your fingertip). Full of win.
