Anyone looked into these alternatives to bigger radiators?
Waterless Coolants for Classic, Vintage and High Performance cars
Waterless Coolant | car radiator coolant|radiator coolant flush
I'd like to see some back to back actual temperature comparisons our ECU's will still shut down on 115 degrees regardless of whether the coolant is boiling or not.
Cost of the replacement coolant and all the pre-cleaners would be around $400 with a bit spare for just in case.
I'd be happy to order both an upgraded radiator and intercooler if PWR got on board.
Are you guys having heating issue's?,mines seen 50 plus degree's,my thermometer only goes to 50 and my coolant temp only got to 100 and that was fighting the dunes on the canning at wells 30 and up.I would look and airflow through the original,some gills at the rear of the front guards and no spotties etc at the front. Pat
I have had only slight overheating probs in heavy sand, but takes a while to derate. This is with no fan shroud. I would like to replace plastic radiator with aliminuim one with built-in electric fans to free up an acre of room under the bonnet. One day
I have big heating issues but then again I have a large intercooler, spotlights, portal axles, 35's and a performance chip........:angel:Quote:

I know I'm not quite where you are re mods, but I'm running a remap, big intercooler, 34 inch mud tyres, lifted, spotties and a winch solenoid box in front of the grill, and almost never go anywhere at much less than max gvm (lr fuel tank, 100 litres of water tanks, bar, winch, drawers, fridge, 2 spares, wheel carrier, dual bats, expedition rack, rtt, etc, etc, etc) and I have no heating issues at all (based on scanguage readings)?Quote:

I need to disclose here that we do on-sell one such product ourselves, but there are likely others as well that people could source.)
I'm not trying to flog product here, rather make people aware that if extreme operation is causing temperature problems (rather than cooling system defects), it may not be necessary to migrate to larger radiators.
With such products, you need to investigate if they provide all the necessary protection to components, and what you need to do, if you need antifreeze protection as well.
Well what might hopefully be a change in my luck, Andrew from Allisport just called and my radiator is ready and being shipped today.
So if you want an Allisport Radiator they are making them right now so give him a call......
In a month or so I am happy to offer my stock radiator if someone would like to send it to PWR to copy as long as I get it back and its picked up and returned to me.
