[DeTomaso] Fw: To thermostat or not to thermostat

[Göran Malmberg]

The original radiato is divided in two which dobble the wateerspeed in the 
radiator.
I know of the "turbulent water speed idea" but during my testings it has 
newer shown
very big cooling numbers. Twice the waterspeed is a lot, especially if we 
think of
doing so by doubbling the pump capacity. Now, this is only the radiator, but 
my
larger front area, both two and tree row crossflow type radiators, show more 
cooloing
than  the strock radiator. So the radiator cooling area is of much greater 
influence for cooling
than waterspeed. But of course, all features that add to cooling should be 
used.
My old 385 500 cui Ford motor had a electric 10 gpm pump, which is fairly 
slow, without
any cooling problem. Jesper Carlsson bought that engine and mounted Garry 
H:s large
supercooler or what the name was, and experiencet traffic boiling. And he 
used a regular
Ford belt pump. The reason for using another cooler and pump was reliability 
and no
air outlet in the hood.
So what is doing what and to big extent? I believe in one thing, its good 
whith a thermostat.
Ehhh, I am not having one myself.
