Re: SVX Engine cooling "Again & Again"

Chuck,
You can't change the pulley size with out screwing up the timing etc due to needing a larger belt. Also you need to keep in mind that a lot of new Subaru have higher flow pumps then the SVX.

"You speak as if your issue is resolved with the increased suction opening. Is it? "

I don't mean to sound like a smart ass but as far as I am concerned the problem is solved. You need to do the following:-

High Flow radiator.
50mm suction inlet to pump and radiator outlet.
A side tank radiator with the cap on the suction side.
The thermstate must be moved to the top of the radiator (Tom's idea).

I can assure you that if this is done any cooling issue are solved and the SVX will have no problem keeping cool.

Have a gret day.
Tony
