Koyo still decent do most jobs - $700

Recently wen PWR crossflow circa $1100 found big difference in cooling

 

big difference? at the moment sparesbox have 42mm or 52mm PWR for $850.

 

WHich did you go?

PWR if you're rich, superb coolers OR Koyo, just works.

I would avoid that brand that's big in America and looks like rebranded eBay radiators with flashy marketing.

who might that be??

55mm Crossflow is what I got went from 42mm (i think) typical koyo

koyo was fine but started to struggle on my setup as I pushed it harder - above cooler change has done the job well since no probs

I've got a cross flow in mine from Race Radiators, it's a twin pass 55mm core. It was a fair bit more than a PWR but has a swirl pot and a few other things I wanted which you can't get off the shelf.

He's the Victorian agent for PWR and does their warranty stuff, he doesn't use their cores.

No idea if lever is better or worse, I've only every used the push down screw cap ones.

I run 1.3 bar cap on the race car and have got >130o coolant without blowing anything, not really recommended as best practice. Of course if you go higher pressure cap it is worth changing all water hoses to silicone and good hose clamps instead of the factory clips

(personal opinion) I prefer to run a 1.0 to 1.1 bar radiator cap, FWIW with my 1st motor (stock), I had a 1.1bar radiator cap using an off the shelf 42mm PWR radiator and the car was thrashed and cooled down for a good 10 laps on a near 40 degree day at Wakefield Park.

Water temp never went past 120 C (from memory) and no coolant was gurgling, albeit it did have a 25 row Setrab oil cooler. I even used the A/C on cool down laps lol.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
