Re: drilling holes in water pumps
Over the years at least a 100 people posted on this forum the improved results with Skips high flow pumps. A 15 to 25 degree change was the results reported with nothing but the pumps being changed. I say this is far more reliable info then a few
that think they got SLIGHT improvements from various other means. There is no doubt improved air flow will always result in better cooling BUT you need coolant in the system, the more the better. G.M.

Re: drilling holes in water pumps
A clean radiator & block will resolve most overheating issues.

Re: drilling holes in water pumps
That is true if you can remove the heat in the retention time of the heat exchanger. If the time spent in the rad is short the differential temperature will be low. In my case the temperature entering the block on the cool side was too high. By slowing the flow a bit I was able to remove more heat.
Now maybe the rad was a bit plugged and the working capacity was low. I don't know. But if you are happy with high capacity pumps, than stay with them. My solution was to go with a bigger rad and increase air flow. After I did that my problems were over even at very high ambient temps. |
