Anyone used this in their FD? DId you see a difference in temp?

By the way congratulate me on my 100th post!

 

noone has used this?

 

I have used it in 3 different cars, 2 FD's and a Benz and have not seen any type of difference. What I did see a difference with is with lowering the antifreeze to water ratio.

 

I would call ROB @ PINEAPPLERACING and talk to him about the advantages of switching to EVANS NPG+.

 

I used Water Wetter in my FB, in an attempt to keep oil temps down. (water/oil cooler on that particular year) It did seem to help - hot oil pressure was higher. Never had a coolant temp problem with the car, though.

 

Garfinkle uses ww but he has not done any testing ,he uses it in his K1 BMW motorcycle. neather has over heated ,he said he run more water than antifreeze which is more important

 

I've heard of racers using straight water with double the amount of WW. I'm not sure if WW has any anti-corrosives in it or not, VERY IMPORTANT.

The thing is that coolant absorbs and rejects heat worse than water. Straight water makes a better cooling system because it absorbs heat better and rejects heat better, WW would be even better still. However if the WW has no anticorrosive properties, YOU MUST RUN ANTIFREEZE or corrosion will rapidly eat away anything aluminum in your cooling system. This includes rotor housings!!

 

Friend just put WW in his FC and the temp went down 10 deg with same ambient temps. He was running 50/50 he took about a gal out and poured in the WW and topped it off with water.

 

WW is anti-corrosive BTW.

 

I've used watter wetter in my car (aluminum block/head 4 cyl) and had fairly good results with it. I use Dex-Cool and water at about a 25% coolant/75% water ratio and then add the watter wetter.

For my 88 n/a I didn't notice any significant results using Redline's Water Wetter. Maybe b'c I went through the trouble of fixing my Cooling System to top notch specs. Replaced every cooling system sensor and Installed a Black Magic #150. Talk about complete. Anyways, a slight difference In cooling Is noticed but not much!

 

Water wetter does work but it is not a miracle cooling secret. When added to water it increases the "wetability" of water hence its name. I didn't make that up. Any freshman college Chemistry class will describe it. By increasing the "wetability" you are increasing the waters ability to transfer heat. Antifreeze does take away from waters "wetability" as others here have stated. I know many RX-7 track people who swear by it.
