ugrade to your coolant?
 

Just saw this on another forum, but what are the benifits (if any) running something like this in a 3.8 vs regular or dexcool coolant?

DEX is hard on gaskets, as we have seen in the S2's with the plastic LIM gaskets

This coolant appears to have good qualities to reduce heat. Our engines are very good at creating heat. Maybe with the known intake gasket leaks and what not, this may be a viable solution? A nice helper for modding possibly too? I would be interested to see operating temps before and after as well as KR readings at WOT.

For our capacity, you're talking over 100 bucks. That would take some pretty good proof to get me to go for it.

man, $100+ for coolant would be outrageous! :shock:

unless they can gurantee it'll never go bad or leak :roll:

How about use in an intercooler system? Less volume of fluid.

There's only really like 4 intercoolers here.....I'd pitch it on CGP first...more Intercoolers, and they'll buy anything LOL

500,000 miles, damn, would the radiator and motor last that long??

I know a 4.3 liter would...seen a few hit over that...the radiator....prolly not so much lol

evens
 

We used the evens in our race cars it works great but it 125.00 for coolant too rich for
your race cars.... So we use Peak antifrezze with Red Line Water Wetter Insted ...
Some Results Basically :D

I have been running Evens in the Jetta for ~10 months. I don't think it is really worth it on the street but at the end of a long hot day on the road course I was very happy to have it. My water injection transfer pump failed reducing the WI by ~ half. The improved heat removal from the combustion chamber area made the loss of WI almost unnoticeable. This is remarkable as I am hitting 12 to 13 psi boost with a static CR of 10.4:1.

I will be using Evens for my race rabbit when the new engine goes in.

Wabbit. Wace Wabbit.

On a side note / question: I just did a full flush on my Burb :shock: I was under the understanding that the Dex is better :?:

How about how it reduces the cavitation in engines, and is there any more positive effect over water/coolant if it were to leak in to the oil, or elsewhere?

Dex is rumored to be pretty hard on gaskets and stuff. It lasts a long time, but I've swapped all mine out for regular green antifreeze.
