A converstation with a saleen guy... heater core..

[Silverstangs]

There is a person that works for my same company who owns a Saleen; I think it is a 2002 Saleen. He asked me why I have not been driving the cobra lately...

I told him it was a GT and he was like no ****ing way...
But anyways back to the question... I said I am working on it, replacing all of my cooling with new coolant tanks for the blower and engine, new pumps, new coil packs etc.

So he asked what was wrong, and I told him that my car overheats so I needed to do something about it.

He said he kept on blowing the heater core hoses until he fixed it. So I asked what he did...

He stated that instead of running the engine coolant thru the heater core, he by-passed that and now has the blower outlet coolant going thru the heater core. I gave him one of those :dw: looks, so we went to his mustang. Sure enough, instead of the hose going from the engine to the heater core, it dumps right back into the water inlet on the intake manifold.

The outlet from the supercharger goes to the inlet on the heater core. The outlet of the heater core goes to blower coolant tank. I asked him if he is able to heat up his car in the morning, and he said yes, but it does not get "Stupid" hot like before, just comfortable warm.

So I am kind of pondering doing this as well, what do you all think?

I don't see the benefit to doing this?

Maybe if it's really hot out and you blast the heat it'd bring er down a few degrees, otherwise its rediculous.
