red line water wetter
- Thread starter 89Turbo7M
- Start date
No, I just make sure my thermostat is new, change it when I do my yearly radiator flush, only use Toyota coolant and upgrade to an aluminum raditor for more coolant overhead room and make sure my fan clutch is still good. All of that will help you to keep cool.
I ran a 7M with a T4 setup with heat wrapping on just the downpipe and a 190* thermostat. That is the stock temperature where the TSRM says it should run at and I had no overheating with the A/C on in rush hour traffic on a 98 degree day. My gauge just read 190-196, I have a digital AEM gauge.

Idk if I've ever used it in any if my supras, but I know for a fact it works because I've used it jn my 06 civic si, it has a digital temp guage that works in squares, and it dropped it two squares, in the summer down here that made my car really happy, I've used it in everything but my supras, I may have jn my NA but I can't remember
I've used it in various applications, even in a watercooling rig for my desktop computer.
The stuff works remarkably well. One caveat - make absolutely sure your cooling system is really tight before adding this stuff, as it will make parts leak that don't leak with the regular coolant mix. It kills the surface tension on water, which allows it to sneak through smaller gaps. For instance, put water in a tupperware container, seal it, and shake it. No leaks. Add a couple tablespoons of WW, reseal, and shake again. I'd advise doing it over the sink, saves having to mop the floor and change shirts.

i have used it numerous times in many race cars.... great stuff definitely wouldn't build a serious car without it.
Oh yes, water wetter is a winner. I personally had 20-degrees-lower results and had friends tell me the same story.
Works very well.
It works best with no or little antifreeze. If your running 50/50 its not as effective.

ya, on our dirt track cars we cannot run antifreeze(track rules) so we run water wetter and water only.
Someone posted historically that WW does not work and play well with Toyota Red anti-freeze but does well with the greene stuff. One is an ethelene glycol and one is a poly glycol base or something like that. It may have been IJ, I really can't remenber. Maybe he will chime in.
Someone had mentioned that it left a residue in the overflow bottle when used with red Toyota coolant, but there was really no proff of it not getting along with the red stuff other than that that i know of.

Are you guys all running cars on the track? If your cooling system is fine then there's not really any reason that you need to use WW. Cooler temp does not equal better running, if that was the case people would just run without a thermostat. If your car is already overheating than there is some other underlying issue.
No but racing or running the engine hard for longer periods of time will increase the temps a lot.
