Mazdaspeed2oo35 Engine Build Round 2

[CrazyCaker]

I'm using a Derale combo cooler (6 pass oil, 4 pass tranny). It fit perfectly between the rad and ac condenser. To keep the air flowing, I'm using two 12" SPAL s-blade fans.

Thats what I was thinking to

Ya HKS uses some stick on ones with heat transfer tape. Not sure how well they work (if at all) but worth looking at.

running w/out a t stat? really?

Not recomended for cars that run normal temp, are daily drivers, and/or are used in cold temps

 

[Maxx Mazda]

For a serious build like this though, it might be the ticket.

Well it seems to me that Mazdaspeed2oo35's car does not run normal temps, is not used in cold climates, and the daily driver thing is debatable. It would be worth considering at least.

a triple pass radiator VS single pass radiator would surely make a difference too, especially with this caliber of a build...

Definatly agree with you, just don't want somebody seeing that and thinking they can just yank out their t-stat without consequence

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

i was wondering about my build... taking the tstat off.

 

[CulRidr]

^taking out a t-stat is super easy, and you probably shouldn't do it until you know what your temps are, which you may find out in 2011

keeping in mind the extra flow it takes to pump thru. would most likely require an external helper pump, stock is too weak. flow cools better than surface area. I agree tho, wishing I had that too.

incorrect.

 

[Maxx Mazda]

incorrect.

+1. It's a sealed system, the pump is sucking as well as pushing. Would be no different than stock.

 

[Maxx Mazda]

The more I think about it, why would you bother to ship your Mazda to Spain anyway? You have access to some of the hottest Euro Hatches in the world, and you continue to dump thousands upon thousands into a Protege. Time to throw in the towel? Most of the new VW stuff is amazing, and even something like the Focus RS would run circles around your MSP, without breaking either.

Like c'mon, how can you say no to a car like this:

What you've spent on the MSP you could have bought 3 by now I'm sure...

Dude its a FORD FOCUS!!!!

Dude its a FORD FOCUS!!!!

that will KICK YOUR ASS! lol.

i'm not a ford fan, definitely not a focus fan... i'd rock the s*** outa that (in a reasonable color)

Not excatly. It does slow gpm in the system cause of the added length and extra turns of the coolant system. Its call friction loss in a hydronic system.

But were talking not noticable.... lol

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Dude its a FORD FOCUS!!!!

That thing would wipe the floor with a Protege. Dont forget Ford and Mazda are real cozy...
