water wetter vs. none vs. no foglight (redneck ram air)

well i was sort of curious to if this stuff works or not, it helps a little bit out actually.

both runs were done in third from 3500-7000rpm, and on the same road, within 30 minutes of each other. this is 3-4 ounces of water wetter in the aftercooler system only, not in the engine cooling system.

first run when it ends you can see it hit 161 degrees, the recording stopped but it actually peaked out at 164. the second run hit 158 degrees and would not go above it. it didn't spike at all compared to the normal coolant.

here in a bit i will be removing the foglight and doing another run to see how much that actually helps out and post a vid of it too. (before it starts cooling off for the day)

Water wetter DOES work, but only noticeable to me in my CR125. I wouldn't use it on a vehicle that already has something to pull the heat from the radiator... i use it because my cr doesnt have a fan

well from the same temps and the foglight removed it only hit 154 degrees, it was also about 10 degrees cooler than normal when just cruising also let me add that i am not running the stock airbox, i've got the welfare airbox mod

<edit>you can see it just barely tapped 154 as well, then it instantly goes down. this run was in third too, from 4k-7k rpm on the same road.

looks to me the 5 minutes that it takes to remove the foglight is worth it.

also just tried running both cooling fans to see if that helped out, it did not when we were moving, but it kept the iat2's under 120 degrees while we were at a dead stop.

i think the fan mod is pretty much useless
