I have seen these before. They claim to drop the temp by 5-10 degrees. Does anyone run one? I was thinking of makeing one from some aluminum on the lathe. If I run 2 coolers, one from the intake line and one on the return line, will it double the the cooling capacity?

 

I have one, but I don't have a water temp gauge so I can't tell you how good it works. The one I've got says just to put it on the return hose.. so I can't answer that question either. My fan very rarely comes on, and I've never had an overheat problem.

 

I also run them on all my liquid cooled quads. I figure for the price they cant hurt anything. The design alone has to cool the water as it passes through. 2 degrees would be enough for me.

 

LOL Yep, it was just the idea that sold me too. And they are inexpensive, so what the heck.. right??

 

I figure I got extra time at school and we just got some aluminum stock donated. Why not???[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] I one of those guys that if I can, I would like to make it rather than buy it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I gives my quad a personal touch[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Do you think it would be worth running 2? Could you give me an idea of how it looks. Is it just a hollow cyclinder with large fins?

 

Yep it is just hollow with fins.

 

All right, thanks

 

talking about cooling...i just put on a brand new aluminum cooler for my scram,5-10 decrease will be great for me up here.
where did you got those cooler?
thanks.

 

The best place to put one is on the hose leaving the engine. Reason for this is that a higher heat transfer will take place when there is a higher temperature differential. There would be more benefit in making one long one than to make 2 and put one downstream of the radiator.

Rocky Mountain ATV sells the super cooler. They have 2 different brands, same thing,
