You have made a number of assumptions about your cooling system. 1 Is you temp gauge accurate? 2 Are you really getting more air flow through the radiator at speed? At first glance your problem soun

Your cooling fan, whether stock, electric, or both, only are effective at low speeds - say below 30 mph. At higher speeds the total flow coming through the radiator from road speed far exceeds the m

The first fact of Tiger life is 1. The cooling system is marginal. Especially a stock one. Two things make it marginal. 1. Radiator size. If you compare a tiger core to any other car that uses a Sma

Never said you could have too much air flow. As far as velocity of flow goes I will rely on past real world experiences with our western grand national stock car. Here's a question for the discussion

Four times the flow means you'll have to produce 16 times the pressure head... good luck. What we really need is a variable rate pump, where the pump output (and the required input torque) can be reg
