screamingtwin Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 I was wondering if anybody has tried watter wetter in there banshee. Can somebody tell me how it worked out. And is it worth buying? Quote
Justintoxicated Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 yes, it works, well too...But now im using engine ice coolant. Good results so far. Quote
screamingtwin Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Posted November 17, 2003 where did you get that coolant from? Quote
Justintoxicated Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 motoworld at like $18 for the bottle Quote
SICK BOY Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 I heard that a drop or two of dish soap (like dawn) in your coolant is the same as water wetter,and it's a lot cheaper. Quote
screamingtwin Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Posted November 17, 2003 are you serious you got to be kidding me Quote
raxen Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 better stick with what is proven on this one. Water wetter Quote

MULLET~BOY Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 i droped about 8 degress with distilled water and water wetter i have a temp guage on my water hose Quote
Leadfoot350 Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 ATV sport magizine did a test on those products and said that watter wetter was the best that it had a 8 deg difference and engine ice did not do anything at all. Quote

I just payed $20 for this shit (Engine Ice)! Most people swear by it, and I don;t trust mags but is there some link or something online that can attest to this? My bike ran much cooler, but after all the work I did I can't know for sure if it was due to the coolant or not (added cooling head, and running 1/2 110 )? Or maybe water wetter payed off that Mag to make it look good? I have used water wetter in the past and it works for all kinds of stuff ATV's Car's even liquid cooling for PC's...The engine ice is new so I thought I would give it a shot, but if thats true ill have to dump some toxic water wetter in there to get rid of its non-toxic biodegradableness. Are you sure it wasetn purple ice or some other "ice" coolant I know there are quite a few of them out there. Quote
SICK BOY Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 I read about putting dawn in your coolant awhile ago from a post here on the HQ.I have never tried it,but was thinking of to see if it makes any differance. Quote

That was probably part of the complete EVOLUTION BAND power package Quote
00BANSHEE Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 I have had good luck running water wetter. Gauge showed about 6-8 degree drop. BTW - I think you guys pulled a fast one on me. This EVOLUTION BAND power package isn't what it's cracked up to be. Although I have to say installation was a breeze. Quote
Justintoxicated Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 ATV sport magizine did a test on those products and said that watter wetter was the best that it had a 8 deg difference and engine ice did not do anything at all. new thought: How were the tests constructed? In the test was it pure distilled water + water wetter? Vs Pure distilled water + Engnie Ice? Water Wetter and pure distilled with no coolant should preform about 8C better than just water... However water wetter + coolant 50/50 with water should not work as well as just Engine Ice (Supposedly). its easy to show results from a test that are really one sided. Not much will be better than straight distilled water except straight distilled water + water wetter. Coolant works much worse for cooling than straight water, but it adds protection from corrosion and from freezing. I hear you can run straight water wetter + distileld but it's too risky for me. The tests should have been conducted comparing water wetter + 50/50 coolanr/water VS. Straight engine ice in order for it to be a fair comparison. Otherwise they are compairing apples to oranges. This is because engine ice is pre-mixed coolant and water wetter is simply an addative for your coolant. So if they were jsut adding engine ice or using straight engine ice Vs, water+water wette the results are VERY biased. Just curious, I don't have the mag but I would like more info. Thanks. Quote
