klemet banshee Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 soo i was putting my jugs back and one of my intake gaskets ripped so instead of buying a new one i made one from gasket paper. turns out that i didnt work ahahah leaned out the right jug to the point that the ring broke off some how. that damage is not bad at all. looks like i could get a hone and throw a new piston in but not chancing it. its at .75 now think i can get away with .80?? ill have pics up 2marro also i need to keep her running cool throw any ideas out cool head billet impeller inline cooler? (anyone have experiance with these?) Quote
travis6767 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 one of my friends has engine ice it work great, maybe you should try some of that, and he also has this stuff that goes in the crankcase that is supposed to keep it cooler Quote
T_Shee Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 you sure you got the ring gap in the right spot when you put the jug on? how hot is it running and how long does it take to get hot? Quote
AKheathen Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 i belive there was a post a while back and the inline cooler made a 2 degree difference on the temp going into the radiator :shoothead: Quote
2slow350 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 .80 over, properly setup shouldn't have overheating problems.. The billet impellers are junk bc the ones with a aluminum shaft wear out and stop working... Also, i don't believe engine ice really works.. Jmo Quote

The pro-design billet impeller has a stainless steel shaft that doesn't wear out. A cool head only helps a few degrees, same with the inline, but they help a little. Engine ice will help also, I don't think that everyone on here almost would recomend it if it didn't work. just try a cool head (it's an excuse to add performance) and a billet impeller and run some engine ice Quote
klemet banshee Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Posted January 4, 2009 hey guys sorry i made a typo haha (up late) it was thr intake i was putting on i never took the jugs off Quote

Misssppelllleddd Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 ok correct this is this is wrong...i was told by trinity racing that the stock impeller should be used (though i still use the billet) because the coolant is cooled in the radiator and the billet 'megafolo' impeller will move the coolant too fast through the cooling system. It kinda makes sense and I've never thought of it that way before. And inline coolers suck! I had one and it didn't even change one degree. I use the Trinity Stage IV head and I had more than a couple degree change. I was overheating with the stock one and after the switch I never had a problem again. Best Trinity mod ever bought! :thumbsup: I also have a PWR radiator which is about 50% thicker than stock and still fits really nice. Only problem I had with that was the radiator cap would sometimes come lose...but that is fixed. I have always ran engine ice and that seems to hold up well to its reputation but i still didn't help out on my stock system too well. After all this the highest temp I had was about 206 degrees on the trails. When I would take off on a drag I would drop to as low as 142 degrees. No shit! I hope this helps. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Trinity is full of shit. I myself and every single person I ride with us a billet hi flow. I have yet to run into anyone that has had overheating issues drag racing, duning, and mx/trail riding. The only heat issues I have seen are from clogged water jackets or radiators, not impellers, well not functioning impeller. I have seen stockers break off and not move the fluid and casue issues.

klemet banshee Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Posted January 5, 2009 well thats what happened to mine! it stripped out and was pushing like nothing Quote
