Sorry for the stupid question, but what is 'boxing your radiator?' Guessing, maybe keeping cold (as possible) air hitting the radiator using low thermal conductivity parts to channel the available airflow?
How many people are in the group of people that had the car go wrench mode?
I found the line at Thunderhill trying to finish a hot lap.
It kind of sucked but hey, with great power comes great cooling requirements.
Grr.. In a bad mood....
Am I wrong to say that the car was not made to withstand temperature impacts when under harsh conditions?
Did what I thought would do a lot to avoid overheating for just a chap that's trying to have some fun.
(Lizardskin thermal coating on intake parts/Exhaust wrap...
I'm not sure I can let this go totally! (just having fun)
The thermal conductivity or heat transfer rate of copper is 92% versus aluminum which is approximately 49%
Heat will radiate outward despite a bunch of airflow, am I wrong?
So if heat from the radiator / whatever heat source - is boxed...
Pardon the intrusion.
Would copper vs. aluminum boxing be potentially beneficial? Very heat conductive..? Wondering if there may have been some research or comparison, or people's opinions.
Cheers
Nice! Upgrades to safety are the best!
Is that 4-point system that you retired the one I have? (Schroth.. It was a nice upgrade from the 3 point but I get how it might not work for submarine in a catastrophic crash)
One thing I feel motivated to say. All these "race" movies (Ford vs. Ferrari, Speed, all others and etc.) they show the drivers going ten tenths and looking sideways at competitors for like a full second or two. That's not how it goes.
