just sharing my findings with the Titan. with my stock Titan i usually logged coolant temperatures around 90-98 degrees Celcius. usually dyno pulls the truck would get the hottest. after the supercharger install, we decided to do the usual Performance Factory treatment and get rid of the coolant (for the most part) This is something that only people in the south should try, honestly places that it doesnt ever get under 20 degrees F.
What we did..
First of all drained all the coolant out.
Next we bypassed the coolant out of the throttle body.
Then we refilled the whole cooling system with distilled water.
Next we add a full bottle of Redline Water Wetter..
i never run 100 % water because if there is a leak then you cant smell it. i try to run 90% distilled water, with about 5% coolant plus some Water Wetter. then top off the radiator with water.
what we have found is that the car wont get over 70 degrees now!!!!
i was trying to play with the idle using my Cipher and it wouldnt get hot enough. with the Cipher, you have to make sure the engine is between 80-95 degrees Celcius, it would NOT get there. even on the dyno with no fans!! just crazy. now my needle stays at about 1/4 on the guage instead of almost half way...
just thought i would share my findings. this is not anything new, we do it to all our fast cars. :upsidedow
cooler engine makes more power
