Re: Another busa powered 2 seater...
Not trying to be an ass but the high placement is a very poor place to put the radiator.What will happen if there is a rupture of any kind?I personally don't want boiling water/coolant spewing all over me.I do agree that from the radiators point of view that is a great place to have it but not from a safety standpoint.I'm one of those that put the radiator in a low position without good airflow and have needed to direct airflow to the radiator with body panels.The only problem I've had was a small pinhole in a bung weld that allowed air into the system during cooldown and caused an airlock in the cooling system and caused very slight overheat condition.The busa is notorious for being hard to purge the air and it takes about 3 "burps" of it to remove all the air.Would I place it high up and barely behind me to have better airflow through it?Not in a million years.Just not safe.A good fan,an oversize radiator and a charging system in good condition will prevent overheat much safer.IMO
