I've been reading about the brass coolers used from 80-84, Bruce Anderson says that they dont need a lot of air flow to work. Especially compared to the trombone cooler. Thoughts?

QUOTE(seanery @ May 22 2012, 04:04 PM)  I've been reading about the brass coolers used from 80-84, Bruce Anderson says that they dont need a lot of air flow to work. Especially compared to the trombone cooler. Thoughts? I don't have too much to add. Some time back, I did an engine/tuneup class with BA -- he said pretty much exactly that. I have a 76 turbo carrera that came with the trombone -- the engine temps were barely acceptable in motion, and in a CA summer, at idle quickly go way too high. I swapped the trombone for a fan-driven radiator and the temp-life has been pretty good. If I didn't want to molest the front, I'd definitely be doing something to get more air in there tho. hth. --krk. |
