PWR/WOT Spec Triple Pass Radiator Install

[PointByPatrol]

The ALL NEW PWR/WOT Spec Triple Pass Radiator! I'm the second to install in the country in the USA! I'll have another video for the trans cooler, and yet another for my driving impressions. I threw A LOT of handicaps at this radiator during its torture test!

How did it hold up for the VIR event?

After a few of the handicaps were removed....quite well.

PWR have made improvements to the design after feedback from @siwelnosaj and me. They are making the top fan bolt bungs 3mm longer, they are adding additional air bleeds on the top tank of the radiator, and they have repositioned the trans cooler to prevent it from rubbing the hot side intercooler hose. So anybody that purchases one now should be good to go, and have a trouble free installation.

The other thing from your video is that the top radiator stays are being reviewed to confirm they are at the correct width. They were designed to the same spec as their single pass option, but basically PWR is going to test the next few that come out of production to confirm.

All the changes @PointByPatrol listed and this one are in effect as of now, any future order will have these in place.

Additionally, the new 2 bleeder screw design will have one that will bleed air from the 1st pass, and one that will bleed air from the 2nd and 3rd passes.

I wonder if there will be an updated version that doesn’t require a redrill?

I was just looking at some comparison video between my students car and mine from Sunday. His car was hitting over 233 degrees at a 2:15 pace. He has downpipe and a tune. My car running a 2:10 lap blipped 222 and came right back down and typically remained in the low 2 teens. There is likely a 25-35 horsepower difference between the cars in my favor, which means I should be producing more heat. I'll continue looking through the data, but this is definitely favorable. The guys running Ze Vagner intercooler got really hot with coolant temps in the 240's and one seeing 250.

Yep. Already done.

No modifications will be required, all future orders will have the changes made

Awesome! I’ve been very pleased with your cooling plate and look forward to adding this to my future wish list as well.

keep up the good work

Yes, Wagner definitely controlled IAT but that heat went somewhere. I have the triple pass from WOT the original design from several months back. My water temps were still high, but likely from air pressure drop through the Wagner. Solve one issue kick the problem down the road - or in this case into the radiator.
