cormy Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Was just wondering if a couple simple changes will make any difference in cooling since we all know a cooler mixture is a more powerful one. Not looking to replace the SC radiator or add electric fans.. I know that would defiantly do it.. But.. 1. Would a larger fluid reservoir with more coolant (I assume) reduce temps? 2. Is there a better fluid to use other than what came with the car? Like I said not looking to get too involved here but would do the above if worth while.

ViperNC Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Well... You can do it the "right way" and achieve cooler temps in the SC, or you can try a number of different ways to attempt to achieve cooler temps in the SC. Go for the heat exchanger and be done with it the first time. Larger reservoir will help some and you might find a couple of cooler degrees from different fluids. Nothing will cool as efficiently as an upgraded heat exchanger with two big puller fans on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007red40thGT500 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 yes, larger reservoir help. remove hood insulation and get hood vents that are less restrictive than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007red40thGT500 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 i believe aluminum tanks are better than stock because plastic is more of an insulator, however, they are pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrbear Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 there is an open box special C&R extreme duty heat exchanger for 499 on ebay, thats cheaper than the coolant reservoirs and just about any other option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
