Heading to powerrcruise at 4.30am. What could go wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even break anything, built Ford tough haha. Did put it in a limp mode when it got a little hot. Temp gauge went deep into the red. Oops Anyone gone to a better radiator to aid in cooling?

I think burnout cars just change thermostats or fan controller wiring to run a switch to run the fans at maximum from the beginning... or if necessary add in better/more fans. A higher concentration of ethyl glycol vs water might help, too. I'm pretty sure it's just an airflow problem, though, not cooling system issue. If you can create more airflow, you'll solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops Anyone gone to a better radiator to aid in cooling? 50mm fenix. My car would to bake at the track with stock rad.... $440. They have black now. The front sits in the same location as stock so no probs with intercooler Or if you want to spend $1000 go PWR Edited 27/02/16 09:55 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression some models au or territorys came with a 26mm not 16mm radiator or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
