Anyone Used:Redline Waterwetter??

[revNhevN]

Just wanted to know if anyone has used it? what, if any drop in temps have u noticed? what mix did u use? (eg. 50% glycol/50% water + waterwetter, Water + water wetter)

[SKREMN]

dont listen to the people that sell it they have got no idea they advised me wrongly
have a look at there web site
for best temp you use water+water wetter
this is what im currently using my in system

you only need glycol/coolant if your car is in cold temps like 0 degrese coz it has no anti freeze properties
also if you have air con this also can freeze your water
i dont have air con and live in sydney so i use the stright mix with water

normal coolant has properties that raise the temp for water to boil but under pressure the boiling temp rases above 100 degrease anyway
and in a good maintained cooling system your system shouldnt reach such temps therefore coolant isnt needed
but you cant use just water coz it will create rust, corrosion and electolysis in your internals so the water wetter has addatives to reduce this
I only have a stock guage so havnt noticed any real improvemnt
but i have a b20vtec that i ive an absolute flogging too and havnt had any problems
i also have a custom radiator thats smaller but tripple the thickness

if your trying to reduce the water temperature try fitting a low tem thermostat.

[revNhevN]

I was thinking about using just distilled water and waterwetter. Waterwetter contains rust inhibitors but not sure if that is enough.

Might aswell try it becasue i am changing my thermo fan switch.
Im trying to reduce both oil and water temps. got an earls oil cooler going in soon too.

Yeha im using it too, my car doesnt go over 80c, but normal driving hovers round 70 72c

just use distilled water. What radiator are you running?

[revNhevN]

i wouldn't use straight water, distilled or not. dont want no corrosion. im am using a eg6 radiator. my water temps are abit higher than i want. but its really the oil that concerms me. so i would like to lower temps of the engine cooling all round.

Water Wetter doesn't really reduce the temp, it makes the water wetter. I know it sounds funny but you all know water has a film (Surface tension) that you can see when you over fill a glass and it sits higher than the rim of that glass. What Water Wetter does is breaks down that film so heat can be transferred better. I use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water then add 1/4 cup of water wetter per gallon. Seems to work for me. I can't say what it drops the temp to as I also have coatings, but the total temp drop I have with out the turbo on and with out the oil cooler was about 25%-35%. On the race cars we use 100% water and the same amount of Water Wetter and we stay cool enough. You can use 100% water on any system but it will freeze in really cold weather. In really hot temp 100% water is just as good as any mix.

"WaterWetter® is a unique wetting agent for cooling systems which reduces coolant temperatures by as much as 30ºF. This liquid product can be used to provide rust and corrosion protection in plain water for racing engines, which provides much better heat transfer properties than glycol-based antifreeze. Or it can be added to new or used antifreeze to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems. Designed for modern aluminum, cast iron, copper, brass and bronze systems. Compatible with all antifreezes, including the latest long-life variations."

just stick with the oem honda coolant
which is already mixed, just pour it in

[Rasputin]

Also just using distilled water (or de-ionized, for that matter) is a bad idea. You need some kind of rust inhibitor in there. Even if you had truly deionized
H20, it would pick up ions and impurities and still cause rusting problems, namely in your radiator.

Rust is bad.

Someone measure their coolant temp with honda coolant, then switch to water wetter and measure again. I don't think there would be much difference because Honda coolant has less surface tension properties than distilled water too.

Glycol has a lower specific heat capacity than pure water.
so:

Waterwetter + water > Waterwetter + coolant.
I just want to know how much better it is. Waterwetter contains rush inhibitors, contains no anti-freeze.

if you want to lower the temps more then get a koyo racing radiator. That'll be more then sufficient to cool down your whole system.
