HEAT EXCHANGERS AND INTERCOOLERS ELIMINATE HEAT SOAK IMPROVE POWER

UPGRADED PERFORMANCE RACING RADIATORS

Always mount radiators and coolers on soft rubber. When solidly mounted the vibrations eventually cause cracks, and failure ensues.When running straight water use tap water as it contains minerals that prevent ionization of the aluminum in the radiator.

Do not ground radiators. Instead make sure all the electrical components, the engine, transmission and rear-end are adequately grounded.

HOW TO MANAGE AND KEEP LUBRICANT TEMPERATURES COOL

Nov 19, 2021 0 comments

Increasingly stringent emissions standards place an added burden on engine oil as it is also called upon to prevent gasses from bypassing the rings. To further improve emissions, engine manufacturers reduce clearances at the piston skirts and the engine bearings down to the range of two thousands of an inch (.002”).In the past few decades economic and environmental conditions have combined with technological advances to change the modern vehicle dramatically. These changes challenge the design of every part of a vehicle. These conditions have made it imperative to manage and monitor water and lubricant temperatures more closely in automotive components.

Apr 12, 2021 1 comment

The best way to avoid problems when replacing a water pump for racing, towing, street performance, off-road, or a street rod is to purchase a new upgraded water pump from a manufacturer specializing in performance parts.

Computational flow dynamics, computer-aided design and machining techniques have produced remarkable results in Edelbrock’s water pumps. This graph shows the Edelbrock flow rate and a pressure increase from 23 PSI and flow of 57 gallons per minute with the stock GM LS1water pump to 33 PSI and 68 GPM for the Edelbrock 8896.
