Does This Debunk the "Coolant Can Flow Through the Radiator Too Fast" Idea???
using a lower pressure radiator CAP.
I am unsure of the exact numbers of lbs of pressure (cap) to boiling point, but having the cap the weakest part of the system makes sense to me. Next in line of the cap, of too high of pressure, is a hose or the heater core. 13 lb cap seems to be the weapon of choice on that front.
How much pressure does a heater core solder joint take, and for how long, and how many cycles? I feel like a lower pressure system that flows well and uses area (rad dimensions) and air flow is a good ticket.
Saying that, i am currently using a 1” smaller WP pulley on a flowkooler, 2 core (1” tubes) 24.5” wide aluminum rad with 3400 cfm worth of air. (13 lb cap).
187* all day. Might see a spike to 192* under certain conditions.
383 with a cam (250/250@50)
4 speed
AC not hooked up yet. (Big azz condenser is in place though)
This is a significant drop in temp from previous setup. I can bore you with that setup if prompted.
Pay me :lol:
