Cheap cooling solution?
 

I found this radiator coolant additive on Mishimoto's website. I ordered a bottle to check the results and see if in fact such dramatic differences in engine tempss can be noticed.. This product claims up to 30 degree engine heat reduction. In my book key words are "Up to". Either way @ $20 a bottle and mishimoto being the respectable company they've become. I am willing to try this product. Will keep you all posted on my results.

Liquid Chill, Radiator Coolant Additive, by Mishimoto

How do you plan to read water temps?

a north american company with a faux japanese name...

From my understanding water temps have never been an issue.

Oil temps another story. :ugh2:

Unless that fluid somehow retunes the engine or magically moves more heat out of the radiator there is no way it's going to work. Now, that's not to say additives like water wetter cannot be of use, but those serve a different purpose e.g. to keep coolant from boiling, etc. But the engine is a heat generating system and unless you increase the cooling systems ability to shed that heat (e.g. bigger radiator, more airflow), no additive is going to drop your engine temps.

Fixed.

oh figures... like megan taken off mugen (pronunced mu ghen)... :rolleyes:

Hmmm... skeptical this would do anything at all other than relieve you of $20.

agreed... should be placed next to the blinker fluids...

And the rusty O-pipe. :D

Rusty is 55 6ft2" and 220lbs 32 waist line. damn i have photographic memory! :D

Wallet lightening mod!

OP, I thought this was interesting. Redline WaterWetter® Review | The Truth About Cars

Thanks for the input. I ordered it with a set of radiator hoses to match my intake hoses. I just thought its worth a look-see. I do plan on getting a high performance radiator right before getting my oil cooler. I just really want to cool things down all around for my car. The engine bay is cramped. Oil temps run high... I just thought overall cooling should be addressed. From silicone hoses to oil and transmission coolers, radiators and also trying inexpensive products to see how well they aid a situation.

Thanks... lol, I guess I will just reneg that part of my order. Sounded good. I guess sometimes when you trust a company's products? Etc... My mishimoto intake hoses are working great thus far and now I'm getting the radiator hose, so I just had added that to the order. Its coming out though.

Worthless thread. My bad. Modersator close.
