does the FD have a fuel cooler??

and if it doesnt are there fuel cooling kits available for the fd...or do they all have to be made from random fuel coolers and various parts?? i got this idea from the apexi drift car ...that uses a fuel cooler to cool the fuel...well just let me know if anyone else has any more info on this

there is no stock fuel cooler although you can buy one from summit racing or jegs or something and bolt it in, you might wanna look in to running one inline with a fuel reservior system such as the one from rotary extreme as youll have to reroute the fuel system anyways.

oh yeah, there are 2 types of fuel coolers availble, the ones which are like little radiators and the others where the fuel coils around in metal pipes which sit in a liquid/ice.

the one with the coils in the ice should be cooler so i guess it would work better but you would have to have it inside the cabin. with the fuel reservior, that would be inside the cabin as well so i guess its nto that much more of a danger

why ...you ask...because it makes the fuel colder...making the fuel more dense....the denser the fuel the better the combustion and the more power and the less chance of detonation...you can learn something new every day so take notes son! haha peace out

I don't know of a single person on the forum running a fuel cooler. Do you know how little the density of gasoline changes over the small temperature range you are talking about?

I could see cooling the water for WI, to absorb more heat... but would cold fuel have the same effect !??

this kind of relates but not really. Does anyone know the exact material that the stock fuel rail is made of? It looks to have that coating on it that everything else does thats not aluminum in the engine bay. Thanks.
Dont just guess if you arent sure please..
