whats up fellas, anybody uses water wetter. I have to swap coolant for the track this coming fourth of july and wondering if it actually works.What I wanted to know too is if it would work as good in stop and go traffic.I apreciate any info.....thanks

 

i have a friend that says he adds 2 or 3 capfuls to his coolant and it keeps him a bit cooler. i've been meaning to try it, but havent gotten around to it yet.

 

Yes, I recommend this product. I have personally used this and engine ice. When I swapped fluids at the beginning of the season, I specifically remember what my temps were reading before and after. Before readings were +/- 180 degrees. After readings were 171. While this isn't that much of a difference, where you notice it will be city driving. Stop and go was around 212-219 on the hottest of days. Now, it's back down around 194. The benefits of this is that is decreases the film that gets built up on the inside of the cooling system, and decreases the amount of effort the water pump impeller has to turn.

I completely believe in this product.

 

I've got a bottle sitting in the garage, waiting to go in when I pull the plastics to change the oil in a week or so. A few years back I had a Porsche 944 that liked to tease me about overheatingthe needle would climb to the red, then drop, climb, drop, over and over again (like 10 cycles in a 30 mile commute). I put the water wetter in it (to hold me until I had a chance to swap out the thermostat), needle held dead center every time I drove it after that...never did change that thermostat. As said above, I thoroughly believe in and recommend this product.

 

i went with purple ice just did the swap a few weeks ago she still gets hot in rush hour but cools down a hell of alot quicker avg running temp nice ride 171-189 depending on temp

 

Used it religiously in my race car, made a nice differance, again like most others about 10 degrees on ave temps.

 

thanks fellas.....apreciate the info

 

yeah you want to use it. As you see most people are having about the same reactions to using it. But also you want to use it because it'll have some anticorrosive properties in it as well. When you run straight coolant and you will have different metal materials in your engine you'll develop an electrical charge in your water. This also happens with coolant but just takes much much longer time for this to happen, hence why they say change it every two years atleast. But either engine ice or water wetter will work for the track.

 

what ratio is recommended? Add it to coolant or distilled water only?
Thx
