Any cooling will help. In the qp IV the space between the rear part of the engine and the parafan is quite small. There are no ducts in the hood releasing hot...
Perhaps a complete redesign of the water path would help ? How it is ? I've never looked at the v6/v8 cooling setup and now it seems strange. Looking at the...
i must be dreaming, but my new biturbo appears to be getting GREAT gas mileage. i drove it about 250 miles from VA to NJ and it took a little less than 10...
