The problem with a 95 degree sunny day is that it's a 95 degree sunny day. The sun will try to heat anything it hits.....a black surface could...
Conservation of energy ALWAYS applies and a higher CR engine converts more energy into work and less into heat. The heat goes out in 2 ways,...
i don't disagree with anything you are saying really...there is no question that going up on CR will reduce exhaust temp. Where I'm struggling...
I stumbled across this stuff recently: http://www.jegs.com/p/Engine-Ice/Engine-Ice-Hi-Performance-Coolant/1348309/10002/-1 but have never...
Boiling point and ability to cool are 2 very different things. The boiling point goes up but you aren't going to run the system hotter really...
I'm not so sure. For sure the higher compression is more thermally efficient overall but that is not the same thing as what % of the inefficiency...
I talked to winberg cranks today.....they said plan on about $15k for 1 or $18k for 3.....who wants a crank? Right after that I called a buddy...
:) Well it sounds like you already know EXACTLY where the problem is ;) ......but a shroud should help. Mark
Thinner cylinder walls transfer more heat into the coolant because they are better conductors. A LOT of heat leaves the engine in the exhaust, so...
Correct you absolutely need a shoud and that will mkae a big improvement..... but while it's maintaining a safe temp while cruising it's not...
For sure the EGT temps go down as CR goes up......but I'm not sure heat into the coolant always goes down because heat is transferred much faster...
Fair enough Is the falcon a top tank or side tank? On a side tank the core effectively gets smaller when the water level drops and thats a...
There is: aluminum radiator of adaquate size use a shoud use an electric fan if possible (I know.... but they are better) use a thermostat,...
hmmmmm......... The wear stuff is oil viscosity and part clearance so temp info from a study like there applies only to the specific stuff that...
Going to 200F is fine if that is the design set point...but it sounds like the design point is 180 so the system is overheating...and that is...
The thermostat controls the low as you say, then the burden shifts to the radiator which controls the high. If you want the car to run at 180,...
Here's a couple good articles: http://www.caparadiator.com/aluminumvscopper.html...
That's not correct. Copper is about 2 times better than aluminum but radiators are not copper, they are brass and brass is only about 1/2 as...
That's not quite right. Boiling water (turning water to steam) requires a LOT of energy so the water will continue to absorb heat from the engine...
Expecting your cooling system to work properly seems reasonable to me. If you have a 180 thermostat and the system is running above that temp...
Yeah...last I knew Web gets about $100/lobe to weld and grind to whatever spec, $60/lobe if it's just a regrind with no weld so $1500-$2500...
Yes, custom made. They don't have a forging with the 45 degree cap so the rods would be billet. It looks like Cadillac uses a 2.249 rod...
I had a chat with Jim at cunningham rods today $300 :) per a rod :( He was concerned about the 3/4 wrist pin and any plan that...
I couldn't help it....I had to make another gragh :) 4.5" stroker (light green/red) vs blower at 7 psi (dark green/red)....pretty much a...
I also took a quick look at the combustion chamber to start getting my thoughts in order. These heads have stock chambers, but the rough...
I'm supposed to be working on finally finishing the stupid ferrari engine and I did some of that last night but....I also popped apart one of the...
Next thought. I can't get the simulator to even care about the porting on this engine....it's says there is plenty of air, but I'm using V8...
Oh...I see the M90 was oem on the later engines and also available cheap.....often under $100 with the TB and bypass valve :) So the M90 is...
I sent the whipple guys a note asking if I can get the compressor map for their w100 blower (1.6l). They are claiming 81% efficiency but it's a...
hmmm...it looks like the autorotor 2076 is a tough one to get these days. KenBell who was the autorrotor dealer started making their own units and...
