Water cooled 2.5r

[Tmaxx96]

if i put anti freeze in a liitle fas tank on my tmaxx and bought a water cooling head would it be ok ????? and would it work if i used anti freeze or is it a bad idea???? any help is appreciated

It would not work. This has been discussed before and I'm sure tried although I don't know if there is a thread on here. The stuff you would need would simply be too heavy to be practical, not to mention so fragile as to make running it impossible.

With the proper tune, you dont need to do anything else, that is how the motor was designed, to cool itself through the head.

Nope...not unless you were using it in a boat.

You would also need a pump of some sort and a radiator. The reason why water cooled setups aren't used is because they are a lot more complex, and fragile, than they seem.

I've thought about it myself but then I thought about the amount of water it would take for it to be practical with or without a complex radiator design. It would add way to much weight for enough water without a radiator and cooling fan and with those you would still have the issues with mounting and breakage. They can water cool marine engines because you don't need a water reservoir or radiator to keep the water cool.
