~13 views and no answers?? come on ppl!! lol i may have found a better way to cool the engine lol

 

well the antifreezes out there are also designed to have a higher heat carrying capacity than just plain old water...so running a regular 50/50 mixture should do you better...any other additives are up to you, but I have heard great things about waterwetter. And just running antifreeze or waterwetter may lead to your water pump going out prematurely due to the fact that it is not as thin/light as water...if that makes any sense, it has a little more strain put on it.

 

I wouldn't do either. Water wetter is an additive, not a coolant. By itself, it will not cool your car. Running all water is not a good idea, either. Coolant has additives that inhibit rust and lube the water pump. I wouldn't stray too far from a 50/50 mix... maybe a little more water/less coolant. I've used water wetter in my V8 S10 and honestly didn't notice any difference in temp at all.

 

Exactly.

 

ok thanks for the feedback now hw about this engine ice stuff??... an thoughts on that

 

I gotta have some! The color of the stuff in the overflow bottle will match my paint!
