    Coolant or water wetter?

    Most vehicles will have a natural equilibrium point cooling wise based on ambient temp/load/airflow/coolant type/mix and so on, my Mk3 at heavy load/550rwhp was 91c +- 2c, my current project is close to the same as it uses much the same size/construction/brand radiator, no amount of cold T Stats...

    My *sort of* build thread. (PIC WHORE)

    I like the fact that it will thermosyphon after shut down and pull heat out of the CHRA reducing the chance of coking, but as you say a good Synthetic shouldn't coke :)

    SBC/LS1 with R154, anyone done it?

    I used all 2005 Holden accessories on mine, same model year as the L98 engine I bought. I'd have to double check but almost certain it was a 2004 F Body pan, got it out of a dealer in AZ.

    SBC/LS1 with R154, anyone done it?

    It's long gone, yep made my own mounts, I used an a340e and an adaptor I built so trans mount was stock, only thing I had to move was the crossbrace between the LCA's, I machined up a billet T6 6061 one that incorporated a bashguard.

    One Piece Driveshaft Angle? Weird Vibration problem.

    I'd be looking at the Uni Joint phasing then balance. I have a shop I've used for 30+ years never had an issue then I did, somehow not balanced correctly and a brand new shaft built with the best parts $ could buy... Had me scratching my head for days...

    One Piece Driveshaft Angle? Weird Vibration problem.

    Vibration is rarely a pinion angle issue, just look at some of the retarded angles Offroaders run, more often than not it's a balance/phasing problem. Angle usually becomes a problem under power and will cause windup in the driveline.

    w58 on 7mgte?
