OK, we'll have to revisit this before the order. The GT4 rad is actually 3 1/4" shorter than the Shelby model, which might make it the right size for an Eco? Both rads use the same core, so cooling would be significantly improved. Building these all in one shot is going to be the most economical for everyone.
Heat is a big issue in all turbo motors. Another way of looking at it is the specific output of the EB motor compared to the V8. If the V8 was making the same hp/liter as the EB, it would be around 675 hp. This is also why the factory calls for heavier oil in the EB than the V8, i.e., 5w30 street, 5w50 track.
100% this. Case in point: Fluidyne. Their proprietary tech is all in air fin and tube design (in tandem with an oversized 3" 3-pass core). FWIW, I never have coolant/CHT issues with their radiator (combined with full fencing), even in less-than-ideal conditions running 15 minute sessions @ 5000ft+ w/ 750rwhp in 90+ degree temps - despite having a 1000cu inch s/c heat exchanger and setrab 650/610 oil/tranny coolers stacked in front. Highest CHTs observed always in the 210-220 range.
any mods needed to support that radiator? You removed the fan or it doesn't support one?
sorry, that was a mock up pic from the offseason - OEM fan is mounted, no extra fab needed to make that happen.
I suspect the Mishimoto is sufficient for stock power levels. I really wish that Mishimoto would've shown some test data at the track, instead of cruising at 65 mph. I'm not convinced that a X% improvement cruising at a steady state will result in a similar improvement during a 30 min HPDE session. Maybe, but it would help to show that test data. Especially if the motor has been tuned to anything beyond stock power levels.
Exactly. That was a function test, not a performance one. Honestly, I wouldn't put that info on a website because it's completely trivial.
this is an early production triple titanic heat exchanger made by the department of boost. in tandem with the 26A water pump and -20AN lines used throughout (including manifold inlet/outlet), the cooling system flows ~28gpm and keeps IATs much lower than anything else available in the market.
I can't find the eye bulge emoji - but very good
until you upgrade all inlets/outlets (on the radiator, h/e, pump), your flow will be restricted by the smallest bottleneck (most likely the 5/8" inlet/outlet on the manifold, although these can be upgraded to 7/8" on the Roush iirc)
