Lower engine temperature

[Trickie Dick]

I'm not sure butt...it seemed like our Spyder ran warmer when my exhaust down pipe gaskets were worn badly and leaking. O2 mixture was off?

I replaced those when I had the update done. Still hot

[SpyderWolf]

Great idea! I would definitely like 2 kits, one for each of our Spyders.

Please post the details on how to order them.

[SpyderGirl]

I am also interested. It's going to get HOT HOT HOT this summer in the Bay Area. Hook me up.

[gmopsman]

Put me down for one. When will it be available.
Thanks

[TMehaffey]

Put Me in for a kit also I've noticed mine running a little hotter after the updates.

[wyliec]

I'm in for one.

[Sny]

$20 mod that anyone can do and it comes with glue?

I'll take 2!

[3tracs]

I'd like one kit too. Thanks for the great idea! (I love this forum!)

[doudy]

will run to buy the material and do this mod before my long ride to the homecoming Spydercelebretion in Austria.

[jabba11]

Id be interested as well!!

I should have asked REPOPS if he had enough sets to install them on Debbie and my Spyders when we were in Cuba. I liked the idea when he first told me about it last summer when we caravanned out to LA. Put me down for two sets also.

Very cool and useful modification by the sounds of things.
2000miles is a pretty good test, also.

Do you have any other pictures of the mod to share? I would like to get more info on how it directs air through the rad instead around it.

Very cool, mod guys . I'm thinking about getting one, but not sure I really need it around here in Newfoundland. Although, summer we will be hitting 25-30C.


Would like more info if you can provide.
Thanks for sharing.

I ride in that too and I put one in mine, works great, thanks harvey, your the man.

Nice job Harvey! I'll be ordering one also. For $20 you can't go wrong.

[WaltH]

As I continue to rack-up the miles with this mod, I am amazed at how effective it is. How can something so small be so important? Never before have I seen three bars so much, even when the ambient temperature is in the 80's.

I wonder what miracle Harvey will come out with next?

[craigclive]

How do I get in touch with Harvey at RPM, Inc. to order?

Thanks,

Yeah! I just finished shipping out the first batch of the "Missing Air Dam" so everyone that has ordered and paid should be getting theirs by this weekend.

Be sure to get back on here and spread the word after you see the difference.

There will be more "Missing Parts" in the near future and if you have seen my Spyder, you may be able to guess.

The website for SPYDERPOPS should be up and running by this weekend also so look for the banner add after this weekend.

THANKS FOR ALL OF THE ORDERS AND LOOKING FORWARD TO HEAR YOUR RESULTS!

This mod was introduced by REPOPS at Cowtown, Cuba, MO:



After 2,000 miles test, it DID lower the engine temperature with 1-2 bars!

Not pooping on this but..............

This doesnt solve heat soak at low speed/stuck in traffic situations. Its a bandaid for the real problem: LEAN CONDITION. If you give the Spyder fuel with a aftermarket fuel controller, your engine temps will drop, your exhaust temps will drop, your coolant temp will drop, your oil temp will drop, your spyder's motor will live MUCH longer.

There are alot of creative tricks for trying to keep the spyder cool, but none of them address it like the fuel situation.

You are absolutely correct about the lean condition as I have an aftermarket fuel controller and it did help with more fuel. No poop taken!

I designed this air dam after installing the aftermarket fuel controller and it has decreased the temp by 2 bars where the more fuel was really not noticeable on the gage.

Without going to the extra expense of the aftermarket fuel controller this "Missing Air Dam" provides the cooling when at speed that will help in the long run. As for stop and go traffic it is very relative as the heat soak is also lower and return to a cooler temp more rapidly when returning to speed.

Last summer when myself and 2 other Spyders were crossing the Mahove and ambiant temp at 123 degees F I ran at 4 and 5 bars. My friends ran at 6 and 7 bars and one went to the 9th. bar and then limp, his was tuned way too lean for speed.

Again, no poop taken however I have tested this for over 10k miles in various forms/designs and in all climates.

Thanks for your input!

I have/had running problems at 5 bars in city traffic with high ambient temperatures, which I believe can be reduced, or eliminated, by the "second update". I had the second update performed in Cuba. Now, I am waiting for the right day to test the results. This has nothing to do with Harvey's miracle.

Harvey's mod gives me the most "bang for the buck" of any of the many changes made on my Spyder. The cost of Harvey's mod is insignificant, yet the improvement is very significant.

The airflow modification should be done on all 2008 and 2009 GS models.

[SpyderWolf]

Thanks Harvey! I am looking forward to the kits arriving.

It is also good to know that if they ever ship my Juice Box Pro to me I can expect even more benefit on the cooling front.
