[EA-81 Trike still overheating]

http://www.4masons.org/~dritchie/s_r_pics.html

 

This thing is STILL overheating, runs about 210

and I would like it better if it ran at 175 to 185

I know that Airflow management looks pretty dismal overall

But can anybody guess if an oil cooler will help my problem ?

 

I will be checking thermostat and trying to get better airflow

this week.

Planning a 1000 mile trip in June and would like to not have to worry about overheating.

 

thanks

 

 

 

 

 

Mr. dritchie

I too am building a subaru trike with an older 1800 with a 2 wheel drive automatic. A mazda rotary radiator is ideal for cooling up to 190 hp. if installed correctly. I know if you are talented enough to fabricate a trike you'll whup this prob quickly. IS THE AIR ALL FLOWING IN ONE DIRECTION ? with no or little obstruction ? The fan should PULL, i would think the way you have it configured. Maybe another fan beside it ? lo.

abets a luck and I wouild like to see mnore pics, differant angles and so forth
