I have a few questions for you Francois concerning your
coolant
flow requirements.
At what HP level is the specified 53 gallons per minute
required?
How was that determined?
I assume you are using a stock Mazda water pump?
If so do you have flow rate data as a function of water pump
RPM?
Were any test run on the effect on the coolant flow using less
than dash 16 diameter hose?

Paul,
I apologize......I'm looking for the coolant composition.....?
Did I read the system pressure correctly (36.2 lb/in 2). If so, spec
and source for their proposed cap?
May have to wait for completion of their Arrow installation for a
lot of the hardware questions........

I figured that out eventually Phil. Keep reading.

That is what it said. A 2.5 bar cap would be about 37.5 psi.
 
Sounds like a European spec pressure cap? We should get some of those
over here.
