280zex Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I would like to suggest a coolant system sub-forums. This would be specifically just for radiators/water pumps/ heater core/ a/c unit... Unless there is something already that I don't know about around here??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Sounds like a good idea to me.Other than posting in the specific engine or chassis forums, I don't see anywhere that this subject could be posted in.Discussing cooling system aspects alone can be useful.

Miles Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Agree. Just spent two days searching radiator threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zex Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 the real trick with this is suggestion is that cooling dynamics differ between the chassis/engine combo. I.E. your going to need different cooling on a V8 Z vs a L6, yes?? so this could get difficult real quick unless a poster is specific, EXACTLY specific on the application, and the cooling requirements there in... I suppose A sub-forum for cooling could be added to the different engine sub-forums already on HBZ. However I see the amount of work that could take just modifying the HBZ page itself.........

Miles Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Just set it up the Cooling Forum like the other sub forums with a FAQ pinned to the top, move some informative threads form other forums into the Cooling sub forum and let it fill up with new posts. A first post like What Radiators are You Using, or post your cooling system would be a useful thread to list in the Cooling forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 BTU's is BTU's. The basics on the subject are so misunderstood and myths abounding with drain dead anecdotes it's insurmountable IMO. Guys overheat with the stock system in a stock car, start shot gunning and deriving wild solutions to problems that never were the root cause to begin with!

Miles Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Note: all the original poster was suggesting was to have a dedicated place to post and search cooling system information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 A good fit would be under the Engine Components forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
