Starting Steps

It's interesting you say this, we were thinking of ways to get cooler temps on a local stillen setup.

My suggestions if your going for the bigger exchanger run a larger coolant tank with ice box in the trunk. Should help out tons. Also run a heathy amount of water wetter in the coolant, i don't usually like additives but running it on my old sc'd car it worked really well.

What is the benifit of a larger coolant tank, Just that more coolant to flow would keep it cooler, I know it sounds dumb, But more to flow through the exchanged is a better way to keep things cool, Just like running a larger radiator? I will have to look and see where I could fit this, I found a lot on Ebay for like 150, Morroso and ETD motors.

I am by no means an expert. I just went with the flow when it came to cooling mods for my old car. The first thing i said to the guy here was to upgrade the exchanger. But it was always my understanding that while running a larger exchanger will cool off a larger amount of coolant at one time, your only combating half the problem. By adding a larger resesivor you now have a larger pool of coolant to draw from therefor having the overall temperature displaced over the greater amount of coolant keeping things cooler. When you look at the stillen tank, it looks smaller then a water bottle. The other advantage is having an icebox for track days.

My advice is to read on an svt forum, lots of info on there since they all run/start off with exchangers.

No thats exactly what I thought, an thanx for the info
But I will be trying to stay under the hood, I'm looking at areas where I could fit something, with the stock intake manifold gone I have some room on the drivers side of the car to work with, plus with my new vented hood the is a lot of air moving around in there so staying in that area will not be that bad,.

Your better off buying one of there small 10 inch fan's ,and wiring it up to come on with your stock fans. You will alreay have to add more coolant with the lager Heatexchanger.
