anyway thats enough

if your looking for a good radiator get either Cathers BA or LA
BA can also be purchased from here these are big enough to house 2x 120mm fans and will cool better than an of those more expensive retail radiators such as Black Ice Extreme

if you are lucky enough you may be able to find a similar radiator as the Big arse at local wreckers

cheers , Josh

BENEFIT SUMMARY
Doubles the wetting ability of water
Improves heat transfer
Reduces cylinder head temperatures
May allow more spark advance for increased torque
Reduces rust, corrosion and electrolysis of all metals
Provides long term corrosion protection
Cleans and lubricates water pump seals
Prevents foaming
Reduces cavitation corrosion
Complexes with hard water to reduce scale

So I was right anyway.

You have to be careful when tarring with such a large brush, as doing as such will often come back to bite you on the arse...

So cap in hand, hey?...

Why do you want to add Water Wetter? 'Cos you heard it was better? Rather lemminesque in itself...? Quoting a manufacturers spiel hardly qualifies as definitive proof.

Water Wetter does all those things in a hot, pressurised environment. Computer water cooling operates at +/- ambient temperatures. Hardly comparable. Reading beyond the summary (here) suggests how it Reduces rust, corrosion and electrolysis of all metals. And how/why it improves heat transfer.

Having said all that, I think it will provide some anticorrosive benefit. But not much. There are other factors you should optimise first.

The easiest and best thing to do is try and make all the components the same metal or nonreactive, and use distilled water, and change it regularly.
