yeah i was thinking that, my A/C condenser is there and i tilted it up and was thinking of wrapping it with some plastic to create a splitter that way for the track.

 

well i have changed out the thermostat, running just water, etc. I know just boosting down the back roads, dragging the brake etc.. i can get it to 100c pretty easy but not being on the track i can't get it much hotter. so until the next track day i guess i just wait and see.



yes fans kick on at 100c and quickly cool it back to 94C while idling so i know they work.

 

Search for info and consider adding an FC or Miata thermoswitch to turn the fans on sooner. IIRC, about 88 C. And personally I wouldn't run ALL water.

 

All water runs cooler... but promotes corrosion later. Drain and put normal mix in between track events. the cooling fans do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING while the car is moving.. I don't even have fans installed on my track FD.....

 

Thanks Grey, i was under the assumptions, fans not that big a deal on the track, water at the track and some antifreeze afterwards.

 

May not be a big deal on the track, but huge when on the street. Unless you plan on being in constant motion, consider it. It's an easy and inexpensive mod.

 

my point about the fans being.... *IF* it is running hot while moving.. the fans are NOT the issue. I still drove my car on the street with no fans, although it was a huge pain in the *** dealing with the occassional traffic. I'd have to switch the car off anytime the traffic stopped. But it took very lil time to drop temps back down once we started moving again.
