More details on the cooler please...

2 inch 7075 made from link rems. Most are 3/8ths npt threads on the end with a 3/8ths thru hole, Return lines ive seen on full hydro systems are -6 lines with a 3/8ths hole in the fitting. Clark is doing something different so his is a 1/2 npt with a 9/16ths thru hole.

Make me something cool for my rig! :beer:
 
Joe, how well do these coolers work? Have you tested them with a laser thermometer? What is the degrees in temp drop from end to end with PS fluid? Do different fuids have different results?

Reason why I ask is that I heard from a reliable source that these kind of coolers dont work well cause they are too thick to dissipate heat well.

They look :bling: tho

I dont know why mauler had issues, But Jason Blanton has been running them on his car and they are always cool to the touch. So theres my laser thermo for ya!
 
Nic, it's catch 22, you can run no cooler, an inline cooler, or a radiator style, they all have their pros and cons. This is the simplist most free flowing cooler, that doesn't need any fan or wiring, and is easy to mount. I see people running 4 wheel steer, with similar coolers, and i figure if it works for them, it will work for me.

Plus with my rig not on the trail, the cooler stays consistant at 65 degrees on my lazer.:flipoff:

In no way am I knocking this and I am looking at the same thing, but longer

what is the temp of the fluid in the resivor?

The rig is not running yet Charlie so my guess is the fluid (once the cooler gets installed and the system filled) will be room temperature. :rolleyes:

That is true, you gotta get it running and wheelin so you can see if it boils over. I only ate 3 PS pumps before I got it right.

Joe, I have not talked to Jeff but if thats the case then thats 2 people that dont like these style of coolers. Sean at POS told me that this style of cooler is too free flowing to cool anything. Stacked plate or radiator style are the best for cooling and if you get say a Fluidyne or Setrab the lose in flow is not measurable.

If I were mounting that cooler I would put it in a place that I could get it out and replace it with a stacked plate cooler if you had to.

Thats just my .02... but what do I know... Im just a dumb kid. :awesomework:
