ARC 370Z Cooling System Development
 

ARC has been developing a cooling systems for the 370Z and here is some of the their progress:

is that just a radiator ?

too lazy to read the full article, but it says condenser on the side.

edit: sorry should've read the full sentence. it's a compact radiator (a SUBradiator, apparently), i guess to assist the stock condenser?

first sentence (rough translation) - while there are no problems on the streets, during circuit driving the z34's water temps went high enough to trip a temperature failsafe mechanism.

then more stuff complaining about the stock radiator / condenser, but don't feel like translating anymore :rofl2:

Phelan, get to translating!!


Hmm...

1. Didn't know the water temps were the problem, would rather have it cooling oil... :ugh:

2. If you mount it there, without something like the Stillen front end, or taking out and making a makeshift fang vent... where's it getting air from??

and for what its worth, the google translate link..

sure it will cost more than the Z itself knowing ARC lol

if ya'all worried about water temps.

I've always personally liked doing the small (not necessarily cheaper) mods that do things like help keep engine temps steady, changing all oils to better quality ones, fluids etc. To me its like keeping better maintenance of your car. Which is always a good thing.

waaay too lazy to translate that right now. if anybody is seriously interested in the full contents of the article though, i can do it later.

It's actually been released since early last year. It's a sub radiator- essentially a secondary radiator.

If cooling is an issue, will replacing the complete radiator makes more sense than adding an super expensive secondary radiator ?

Umm...seriously a secondary radiator? Wtf are they thinking??

Just for the record the overheating problem is caused in that car by RESTRICTED AIR TRAVEL THROUGH THE RADIATOR ok heres the deal i just installed an AAM oilpan spacer + 48row Oil cooler (yes i sad 48 ROW for $278 beat that price) and what ive noticed is that when you put back the undercover theirs no air travel after it leaves the radiator its like everything is blocked off around the engine

I bet if you just buy a regular carbon fiber hood w/ some large fins in it for air travel youll be ok or remove the undercover just dont drive in wet weather or reach really high speed.

In conclusion you dont have to buy expensive $h$t just use youre brain its so freaking obvious.

Sorry for the disturbance in this thread but i guess this is just a big waste of money. In my own point of view the small ones would work better that what they think of.

Almost one year old thread brought back from the dead. Woot

:facepalm:
