Default boostin' all the way from south east asia.

hi. i originally come from manila, and it could really be hot as hell. and what sucks is, turbo parts or any performance parts are pretty rare. now im here in cali to visit my mom. so now i have the chance to gather all the things i need.

now my problem is how do i keep my engine temp down..
considering the VERY VERY hot weather

im runnin a t3 turbo setup and all i did to lessen the heat is replace my radiator to a twin core,

thats it.

my next plan is to make my water spraying thing into a radiator sprayer. where can i get thos garden misting thingys?

any suggestions? oil coolers etc?

im may sound chinese because of my grammar. im just really sleepy

and please dont hurt me so bad

thanks

does your setup have an intercooler? just get the biggest one you can fit in your car, then you can make your own version of an Ntercooler. Google it, its not that hard to make, its just the ------- co2 that you will have to keep buying if you use it a lot.

Run more water than antifreeze. In the summer (above freezeing) you can run 90% water and 10% coolant. You can also run a higher pressure radiator cap. Make sure that you have good duct work.

What about some coolant additive, i.e. Water Wetter?
