Hmmm, I've made a PC without any fans or water cooling. Wonder if I can do the same with cars?
 Thermofans would be the best starting place, and cleaning out leaves between the radiator and A/C condensor. |

ive seen advertisements for triple pass radiators supposed to make the engine run cooler (desert cooler i think) , you can buy different temp thermostats as well 160farenheit 170 180 190 etc

 EF and onwards radiators have mounting points for thermofans which makes it a bit easier, but only the V8 models have the same water pump outlet size as EA-ED. If you were wanting to do a serpentine conversion with later model anciliaries, it would probably be best to do the whole lot at once (as I am doing) with a new EF 6 radiator. |

triple8 the radiator is fine but i imagine there are better options available. had some really hot weather lately and the thought crossed my mind.
EF radiator sounds interesting..

I was looking at making a (much) larger capacity header tank out of stainless. I'm sure you could fin the outside of the header so that it would help dissipate some of the heat.
Also an engine oil cooler may help keep the heat down? Aside from the other benifits.
