Dave D. since you have suggested a radiator inside of a water tank in the past, I was wondering what size is efficient? A water-to-water intercooler is certainly more efficient than an air-to-water r

We never tried to see how small we could make it. it is currently larger thatit needs to be. A winston cup rad in 20 gallons. It was originally designed to be big enough so it no longer mattered what

Going by what Dave said, it seams like the radiator from a Geo Metro in 6-8 gallons of water + alcohol, mixed to provide a 190 degree boiling point, should deal nicely with 500 hp. That's just my op

Dave et al, many thanks for responding. Hmm, your description raises a very interesting point. Since the cooling reservoir (not the closed-loop engine supply) is vented to atmosphere it will boil at

Not sure which "box" you are referring to Keith. The ambient coolant reservoir needs only enough water to absorb about 70% of the total engine heat. That size (gallons needed) can be calculated fairl

You really don't need a pump.. Pretty elegant solution Eh.. You have both the BTU to raise the water to boiling and then the latent heat of vaporization.. Dave

The boiling point of water at 4500 feet is 203.9 degrees. I would add alcohol to the ambient tank to reduce that to about 180-185 and let the latent heat of vaporization carry away most of the energ

Elon, You've crewed on our roadster at Bonneville and the Lakes and are familiar with our cooling system. We have an internal tank (no radiator) with a thermostat on the block water outlet that allow

Why would you want a un-pressurized cooling system? Or do you run the tank with water pressure in it? Most of the tanks with no radiator i have seen were vented to the atmosphere. Those seem like a g

Dave, I've always felt that it would take a very specially constructed water wank to withstand 5+psi pressure such as is generated in most radiators. Our 15 gallon tank would prolly blow up like a ba

Keith, As I said earlier, given the fact that the average internal water tank won't handle much pressure without being specifically designed and built for it, the thermostat allows us to build heat i
