Anyone run Evans waterless coolant

[FL SAAC]

Any benefits on using this vs anti freeze on a street car ?

[The Going Thing]

No. The other issue is that you can't have ANY residual water or coolant in the system or it reacts.   I personally run  Royal Purple water wetter and distilled water.
I rarely see over 190 unless I am dealing with an extended idling condition.

What thermostat?

For a street car fresh coolant, what ever is on sale is all that's needed. Check all cooling items are functioning as they should. High volume water pump, fan shroud, hoses, etc. I run a plate system eliminating the t-stat. you can get a pack of 4- hole sizes from 1/2. 5/8. 3/4. 1 inch we don't freeze too often so it works great with performance motors that need heat regulation. You change the hole size to fit your application... Works wonderful !

+1 on the Royal Purple Ice.  I live in NH, the car sits in an unheated garage all winter so I use 50/50 mix of Prestone and distilled water.  No issues at all with overheating.

I am running a high flow Stewart EMP 180 degree thermostat.

.    Didn't they used to call that a blanking plate or some such???

Of course the best solution is a deeper, extra core, extra fins radiator.

You can have one built using stock top and bottom tanks to look really close to stock.

When I was running my stock car roundy rounder at 6200 rpm it would get hot by race end. The water pump needed to slow down or slow the circulation down in my engine. The class dictated it needed to run components that were like factory components. After market parts not allowed, looking around I happened upon these little beauties and slowed the cavitating fluid in my cooling system. Water wetter is allowed at most race tracks because it is not coolant as we think of it. and it dries like water. My car ran at 220 with out water wetter 200 with it . Great stuff.

I have factory tanks on a heavy duty 3 row core. It works well.

For the lazy old iron on this site: no.
Evans NPG is efficacious. It is based upon reducing superheated skin surface boiling adjacent to the combustion chamber utilizing nucleate boiling. This can near eliminate localized boiling and resultant 'black death' (aluminium thermal piston expansion/ sleeve scuffing -dead hole). With it you do not run a thermostat. Pessurization and temperature are meaningless when employing Evans NPG. It works.
Not really applicable in normally aspirated applications, save for certain off-roaders or esoteric military applications such as the recon teams/ MARSOC who use it.

Gentlemen thank you for your contributions,  much appreciated

I ran the t-stat housing washer, specifically for high rev engines, in my race car. Bought them from Jeg's. Different sizes like 427 mentions.

Without anything there in place of the t-stat, the liquid will run to fast through the radiator and not have time to cool.

The EMP Stewart thermostats are great for street-driven cars. They are high flow design but do very well regulating the flow.  I don't recommend the Mr. Gasket copy. Buy the real deal. I had the rubber seals cause one to hang open.

Just called water restrictor
