after looking at canucksxxx plenum heat project ...I got to really thinking about things and me and dan chatsd for awhile discussing things...so eventually I got and idea along with dan sort of ...I thinking dan thinks it way to much work might be but I an going with the idea for awhile ...put it out here and see what others think ..
1 to me if im going to have coolant heat I want the coolant just off the head ... as it seems this would be the hottest coolant to tap ...
2 the only way to do this is you have to completely reroute the cross over system ...sounds huge but I don't think its to bad ....
3 my plan is to from each head just like the cross over dose ...go from there to center of the plenum and up to the bottom of type four base ....possibly using the stock center section modified some to except the plumbing ... it has perfectly dril holes and with the right spacer and longer bolts could also stabilize everything ...seems you would just have a different hose to go radiator to make it work ....
4 this way for you guys with thermostat ....when it closes the coolant will back right up at manifold waiting for flow from thermostat ...and heating the manifold up just like motor ... this completely eliminates extra line of coolant flow and retuns and all....keeping this system just stock as was just routed through type 4 ... and there is totally no flow abnormalities at all .....
5 I hope I explained that well ....this definitely my approach and the only one that will get the hottest coolant and it brings a three way intersection of heat right where I want it providing maxium flow and no bled off flow negative for motor in any way .....
let the slaming begin ...just kidding comments please :mrgreen:
