Slippery Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I have used this in the past on my race bikes. Just wanted opinions on it and do you use it in your supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 You can use it or any other kind of "uprated" coolant fluid...just as long as it still has corrosion inhibitors in it. Toyota 4-Life Red is the base coolant most use as it's pre-mixed correctly. The stock cooling system is rock solid when in good health. If it's not, then check the temperature of the rad core with your hand after a run (carefully). If there are any cool spots then the rad is blocked and this is a far bigger issue than which you can overcome with an additive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 i have read that the best thing to keep a engine cool is water , water wetter has something in it that makes the point of contact less and does not cool as well, i cant remember where i found this information i think it was when i was doing a google search about the product myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It breaks down the barrier between the water and metal surfaces helping to increase cooling by up to 10oC. Just goggled it like you , and seems a mixed response to it. Although on tests it seems that the harder the car is driven the more benefit there is from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I use it as do most of the big powered Supra's in the states as they swear by it due to their warmer climate. I use about half a bottle each time I flush the rad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 i think you still have to use anti freeze as its very corrsive, i wish i could remember more about this product from when i serched i might be talking bull plop, at the end of the day i didnt go with it after my reserch, " if its not broken dont try to fix it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Are you still using anti freeze aswell Yeah, you only use about 250mm of water wetter, it's just an additive for your normal coolant to push temps down further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
