IndyMX said:I was talking to a friend of mine who's an engineer at CR Racing (they make rad's for Nascar/Indycar).. He suggested that the thicker rad's like Fluidyne makes cause more problems than they solve. His reasoning was that since there was more surface area and more fluid capacity, you wouldn't actually have a cooler system, only it would take it longer to heat up and cool down.
Matt90GT said:Hrm, thinking of that nascar idea just dont make complete sense to me.
If all you do is add larger capacity radiators, that allows more fluid in the system and also more surface area to disapate heat. With more fluid it will also take longer to cycle the complete system fluid thus it stay in the radiators longer allowing more time to cool.

yet, it would also mean that the hot fluid would be staying in the engine longer, giving it more time to get even hotter, right?Matt90GT said:With more fluid it will also take longer to cycle the complete system fluid thus it stay in the radiators longer allowing more time to cool.
