Paul, I finally got my rv8 home and in the shed attached is a picture. I
was wondering on the radiator you mentioned mounting underneath. Is there a
kit available?  And the other question I had was if anyone had ever put an
electric fan on the current setup? Just curious, anyway I'm anxious to get
her running and hear how she sounds.

Thank you, scott

 

I would run it up at max static RPM on a hot day for 5 minutes  and see what
the temperature does. If it does not overheat fly it in the pattern on a hot day
for a couple of go arounds.  If it does not overheat keep it as it is. It is a lot
of work to change the cooling system.

No kit but this is the best rad to use. The tanks need to be removed
and aluminium tanks welded on converting it to a 2 pass design.

Do you have my book How to Cool Your Wankel?
It is a good idea to get the book. You can now buy it
with a credit card from the store below.

People have used electric fans but it does not help much as
it take a lot of air flow to cool the engine.
