We're only talking millivolts here Mario not enough to zap you but enough to cause an electolytic reaction in the motor and make it eat itself starting with the softer metals.
I've seen a brand new aluminium rad that leaked in 2 weeks due to this.
The T Stat isn't really directional Suze.
(well not to the point it would pop hoses off)

Windex is just a spray on glass cleaner Suze :)
(it's quite volatile so evapororates well and doesn't leave a slime, hairspray works well but is a bitch to reuse the fittings if you need to later as the rubber sticks)
Doesn't always work that way.....
I have logs of wheelspin at 100mph in the dry and have spun the rears at 110mph in the wet with minimal throttle/boost.
TC is a life saver and well worth the $ for those times when the Tq monster tries to bite you in the arse ;)
I'm just using Pirtek's multipurpose oil hose I can get the numbers off it later if you like?
Wasn't anything expensive or special just designed to work in this application and fits the pushlock barbs correctly (I spray some Windex in the hose to help it slide on and the Windex evaporates so...
That's the old development centre muffler ;)
(it was too thin and a bit small volume wise and didn't survive a backfire on the dyno after hitting the rev limiter)
Kotu: I bought a pair of Stainless Glasspak race mufflers and gutted them and used the perforated baffle tubes and Glass in...
