Hi,

Quote, ''Gorilla could exhaust gas temps cause a problem at WOT?''

For sure, as Mr Lawsy says you do not want
it, but if I am correct I think Shimmy was/is
running std Map etc.

As a side note on the E30 M3 with S54 CSL
engine I used an 3 core water rad with approx
35% more surface area than the std version.

But I also ran 2 x Heat exchangers and it was
dry sumped so the oil lines helped to dissapte oil
heat, but getting that engine over 100 deg
oil temp even with 28c plus ambient air was virtually
impossible, and water was always around 80/85 ish.
no matter what your driving style was.
[coolant was approx 30% Anti freeze 70% water]

Regards,

The Gorilla.

Which is faster mike, a fan pulling air through the rad, or driving at 120mph with the air pushing through the rad at that speed?

shane@mbtech · 19-01-2014, 02:57 PM

Ps the fan will be less efficient than the air pushing through when travelling at approx 20-30mph

So remove your viscous and as long as you are not in traffic it will only benefit. Less drag on belt system.

I don't believe any one has complained of suffering from a hot engine doing a steady 120mph

.

From my understanding, this uprated viscous coupling is supposed to speed the fan up at lower engine rpms, where doing so is alleged to remove the heat out of the system when the normal arrangement would have slowed down (i.e in the corners), which is supposed to help the thermal recovery prior to the next high loading on the straights?

Makes sense to me, but I was more wondering if anyone had tried it for a real world opinion.

Mike you are missing the point that the fan will not pull more air through the rad, than the air passing through at say 30mph

After 30mph the viscous will do fuck all.

And the water temp rising is high speed WOT application. Ease of throttle and it instantly drops.
