QUOTE(lsm1991 @ Jun 11 2016, 09:48 PM) ah ok not really a new car... Ic, noted and thanks for the reply bro...then all is fine BUT remember this... added coolers mean that it takes additional time forĀ the car to warm up.... remember running things cold causes lots more damage compared to running the car hot.... if this car is used long distance then might be worthwhile installing it, BUT if you use it for short runs, the cons will outweigh the pros..... i speak with 'some' experience with engine coolers - ultra racing bar, basically stiffens everything, but also adds extra harshness to the ride... *depends on which bars you reffer to ofc* - stiff rings basically get the assembly straight, imo waste on a new car but ur money, your call (no real harm done here so its alright) -double layer aluminum radiator, these help if the car runs hot, otherwise theres no point (if it operates in the optimum temp when you drive, whats the point?) *useful if u constantly do high speed pulls/runs ofc* Most of the time i use my ride is for short distance, every time i start my car.. i make sure my water temp go up to 54 degree Celsius, Engine oil temp also make sure go up 50 degree above only start to press my gas pedal.. Since Malaysia weather is hot most of the time, city road jam here and there, lot traffic light..so our auto gear box change gear more often.. more heat produce and over normal working temp = reduce lifespan of our GB.. but one thing that troublesome me is the CVT.....very sensitive if compare to other auto gearbox... I think i will put this cooler for my myvi icon 1.3 auto ...lol This post has been edited by mls_gamer: Jun 11 2016, 10:27 PM |

QUOTE(lsm1991 @ Jun 11 2016, 10:57 PM) haha dependslah kene monitor dulu, see if its always going warm..... but i do agree with the guy above, just replace fluids earlier, accordingly it helps? Ya, i already replace my CVT fluid every 30k KM/1.5 years instead of 40k Km/ 2years (stated by HONDA Malaysia) |

QUOTE(rcracer @ Jun 12 2016, 08:11 AM) Don't screw with cvt, adding coolers change oil pressure , you don't know what will happen if there isn't enough pressure , Ya, that the problem...so now i plan to put this on my auto 1.3 myvi ...simple rule if it ain't broken don't fix it and please please use original Honda cvt oil , not even branded Japanese aftermarket , with makers offering long warranties they make damn sure their oils are over engineer, after market don't give a shit since out there lot of auto myvi already installed atf cooler for their ride... |

QUOTE(lsm1991 @ Jun 12 2016, 04:28 AM) the car has one of the temps shown... so he must have installed one at least since he so confidently gave out numbers when we stuck in jam.... we will change gear more often right ? temp also increase ? correct me if wrong...i'm newbie... also mls_gameryou did mention that we do lots of getting stuck in jamms...... am not sure if that actually increases the gb temp... cause nothing is actually running... afaik, it usually goes up on the move.... especially when climbing hills and running at high speed..... |

QUOTE(lsm1991 @ Jun 12 2016, 08:39 PM) cvt, no gears. afaik heat for a cvt is generally generated during acceleration, slip and constant high speed Noted bro, thanks for sharing the info..also about the oil pressure, actually an added oil cooler usually does not affect the oil pressure much, if its seup properly, its a minimal dif (infact no noticeable change in pressure in the case of my engine oil cooler) Ya, i bought this Hayden rapid cool is 676 size, suitable for small and sedan car..... the smallest among this series...so in term of pleasure maybe got drop.. but not much.. |
