Default Debate coolant crossover mod placement

Where should you place your 2v Head coolant mod for the best flow and cooling?




Ox, is your coolant mod just going straight over to the other side of the rear intake?

Yes. Best way to do the cooling mod IMO.

This is essentially what we are doing, although this is on the Hardballer intake. Mine is by far this pretty with the plastic Intake.

Mine goes over the plenum but is basicly ran the same as the above pic. There is no room behind the tfs plenum to hid it.

mine taps straight into the drivers side of the pi intake (from a "t" fitting at the passenger side). I destroyed a couple spark plugs before doing it, no issues since.

from what I've read, 99% of engine failure is either cylinder # 7 or #8 b/c there is no water running back there to cool them off, this prevents that and allows you to run more timing, etc.
