Overheating & What You Can Do To Stop It

[Z06Chris]

Found a fix for you guys. V-Mount ?

Look at those ducts pushing air directly to the intercooler

This it gonna sound funny, but this configuration stills overheating.

Are they using a PWR/C&R Race radiator?

Source?

Source?

Somebody who is in a race time and owns one

My source owns two.

My source owns two.

Cool! you can corroborate that also.

Nope. That’s because I made it up. It’s pretty easy. I always forget irony does not go well on the internet.

On another note, are those really plastic end caps on the intercooler? What type of plastic is it?

Not much stock to compare to a production car. Fairly certain the water cooling to the turbo has been removed, reducing the load on the cooling system. (turbo is replaced between races) The ducting is split between the IC and the radiator, much more efficient than around a square bumper beam and through an AC condenser, then through stacked IC and radiator.
That steel hood has to slow it down, no carbon fiber, not even a center “air scoop”....

I wonder why no one has mentioned using thermal barrier coatings internally and externally on the turbo, downpipe, front pipe, piston crown, and the combustion chamber? It's already hard to get enough air flowing through the radiators. I would try to find another way to contain the heat in the engine bay There's plenty of research on thermal barrier coatings proving their efficacy at lowering temperatures for critical parts.

Ah yes. Forgot to mention these then. Turbo oil return line clam shell (left). Dream Hi-Flow Catted DP wrapped in hard lagging!(right). Dream claims it is aerospace grade lagging that cuts heat from 1000F to 200F.
The center insulation is supposed to be for the clutch line, but I couldn’t figure out where it goes, so haven’t installed it

RV6 offered a ceramic coat at additional cost so chose that option for the FP.

And these black DEI wraps were included in the HKS oil cooler kit I picked up from a forum member to shield against engine heat where these lines pass by. Big upgrade over the dinky wrap that is included in the HKS kit.

I have also thought that thermal coating the interior is far superior to the exterior. For example, thermal coating the downpipe on the inside would be superior to the outside.

Real answer though is that thermal coating the pistons and combustion chamber requires a full engine tear down.

This is great, first on my list is the PWR/C&R radiator, my car came with the EVS grille already. Probably won’t get on track until next year but I will be doing mods one at a time to gauge effectiveness.
