Tony D Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 On that statement of having pressures equal behind the radiator and in front of it...the fan will then impart flow. Equal pressures only need flow imparted to them to move air from one side to another. The reason they are overheating is usually poor or little attention paid to the cooling system. If this was a truisim, the L6 would exhibit the exact same characteristics. Many S30 racers, where allowed cut one or two 3" diameter holes in the fenderwells to exit behind the tire (like JC mentions in his rolling donut analogy) on each side. It not only exhausts the engine bay more efficiently, you will notice the FRP hood does not bow out 1" above the strut towers at 100mph any more...

drmiller100 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 If this was a truisim, the L6 would exhibit the exact same characteristics. .. yeah, you're probably right. if it were a problem the straight 6's would have had vapor lock problems, overheat, and wander at high speed........ to be fair, the 6's have a fair amount of spare room through the tunnel the v8 jtr's don't.
