I’d just like to brag about my successful coolant reroute. After a few weeks of on and off fabrication, I came up with a nice aluminum pipe setup that has made an incredible difference in my coolant temperatures. I used to see about 108C on tight, slower race tracks; now it’s down to 85C. I ended up bypassing the old heater core loop and feeding the heater core via the coolant boss that is normally used for the stock oil “cooler” and throttle body heater. Now all the hot coolant goes directly to the radiator, the car still makes good heat, and the operating temperatures are at thermostat temp during cruise and only a few degrees higher during heavy boost. Now it’s time to install the new chip in the ECU and re-tune for cool running engine and my nicely balanced cylinder temps. Woohoo!!
