Now there are 2 ways you can run a derby car without a rad, 1st way run on alcohol. Now of course that probably is the more expensive way of running with out that rad. 2nd and probably more ideal for the average driver would be to run what is called a hot box.
Now a hot box simply put is when you bypass your waterpump pully and install a loop in place of the radiator
Next before you hook up your loop (and this is a homade one you can by something very similar at almost any auto parts store)
Lastly you have to options either you can take your thermostat out or you can gut it (entirely up to you) now if for what ever reason you cant bypass the waterpump then you should only gut the thermostat.
Now as far as fluids go you can go with anti freez or water, my preference is a mix of water and oil, but some people are affraid of a fire break out once your engine gets hot, but it works for me and sicne its used its' free typicly i use hydrolic oil but this is all preference. Just to note best part on runing with oil you dont have to winterize your car's engine in the winter and it lubricates your core rather then rusting it out.
Regardless what fluid you use be sure your rad neck has working over flow stem
As you can see 4.55 min. THAT HURTS LIKE HELL!!! Scolding hot water shot on me because the rad hose exploded mainly becasue the water needed to go some where once it was hot and since apperently nothing was coming out of the over flow naturally it made its way out.
Well I hope now to see some more of you guys runin these hot boxes I mean lets face it beats havein to wonder if your rad is gonna get punctured or not and it alows you to use the front end of your car alot more (not suggesting you should only use the front end of your car but the font half is normally stronger then the back end.
Well thats it if you have any comments or questions feel free to post on here im going to countinue to keep this stuff comin and let me know.
Curious as to why you would bypass the water pump? Is there something about the water pump that would cause extra pressure? We realize that the liquid inside is going to build pressure anyways, but is there something specific that you want to avoid by taking the pump out of the equation? Thanks for the input!
ReplyDeleteSpecificly yes the purpose for bypassing the pump is reduce the acceleration of pressuer build up when you run your car you typicaly run your engine around half throttle or full throttle if your the type that runs all out as you said your engine will naturally build up pressure with or without the pump but it will be at a slower pace then with the pump! Hope this helps and enjoy trash your car:)
