For reals. Once pulled an access panel off a plane built in 71, on the back it said, "Temp. RR nxt PMI Mar86" (Temporary. Remove and replace next planned maintenance interval of March 1986). We looked it over, everything was fine, we did what the last 24 PMI crews had done; checks good reinstall.

I'm a pool guy, so I'm familiar with hydraulics. Running pumps in parallel the way you have it MAY cause issues with the flow rates, and potentially even the flow direction, IF the pumps are run at different speeds. If I understand your intentions with the system, they will be, correct? I THINK the effluent side configuration will be OK, but I could see issues with influent side if the pump speeds are running at very different speeds. The pump running at the higher speed could cause the flow through the lower speed pump to stall, or even reverse (not likely unless the pump is shut down completely). In the pool industry, we would employ one-way or pressure differential valves to prevent issues like that. Running the influent and effluent plumbing into common plenums will often resolve the issue as well. Running the influent side of the tow pumps to the lower radiator end cap with separate lines would likely resolve any potential issues. It's also possible it will be completely fine the way it is, lol. Just wanted to share my experience in case you do run into issues later.

Hello Matt. About the leaks. When i used to work at the Saab factory in Sweden we also had problems with leaks in the cooling system. It happend when you put the clamp to close to the end of the hoose. The solution was to put the clamp no closer than 5mm to the end. Now days hooses comes with the clamp glued in the correct position. Did notice that some of your clamp was very close to the end of the hoose. Thanks for great content. John

For a cooling fan... I think you could nab one from a VW made in the last 10 years or so. Most take a PWM input to control speed, then you don't need an external fan controller. Usually they have 2 fans, and the controller is built into the larger fan.

FYI you can get temperature sensors that work at any temperature. It might not be for an "automotive application" but if your temperature is below 212 degrees you won't be dealing with any great pressures you will just be moving the flow. You can basically just tig a bung on a tube and add it in line.

Hey Matt, I love these videos. I recently saw the guys at Hoonigan do something smart to get a good bead on an aluminium coolant line. They literally welded a small bead on the edge. They said that they had been doing it for years and they build cars with insane power and cooling systems. You already have the tools to make the beads so probably not a tip as useful for you. But still worth mentioning.

Found your channel yesterday, watched a couple random videos, neat stuff. Here I am the next day at the end of a 20-video-long build playlist, whoops... Anyway, neat stuff, keep it up! Gives me something to aspire to as a freshly minted mechE with only a year or two of grime on me.

Just appeasing the algorithm. My 2 cents, I would have put one bigger pump upstream of the split instead of two downstream. You could then put a valve on each line downstream and dial in until you get the flow you want/ get fancy and have a temperature sensor on the outlet that alters the valve position. This will remove the need for two pumps and prevent them from fighting/hunting for coolant. Oh actually put temperature sensors on the outlet (return legs) and have them vary pump speed based on temperature. Can you have too much cooling? If not just ignore everything I have said. I haven’t finished watching the video just throwing words at my screen. Keep up the build, great job.

I think you should put some kind of air baffle between the grill and the radiator + between the radiator and the fan. The air always goes the easiest way and that is around the rad. Every car has some kind of air baffle there.

Put simple rubber flaps on holes cut into the tight fitting shroud..so that at highway speed the fan shroud doesn't hold back the inrushing air through the grille...and the fan doesn't need to be on at all...but at low speed, the shroud makes the fan suck at all areas of the radiator...increasing the efficiency of both....

If the welder location woes continue, you can buy extension cords with the correct plugs that are rated to 50 amps. They're usually used for RVs iirc.

Looking good so far.

Interesting rather than "obstrusive". The coolant pipe in the greenhouse pipe would be a handy thing for hanging a jacket or perhaps a curtain (drapes), and posh British greenhouses do have pipes for heating running throught them.

I love what you have done along the way, to your Jaguar, and I'm not sure if I should be making any 'constructive' comments. Along with all of the plumbing, for the Cooling System, I have noticed that you have used lots of Rubber Hose. The Rubber Hose will not be subjected to high temperatures (110 degrees C) - or even high pressures. But the Rubber Hose will be subject to attack from chemicals, shrinking around those Fastener Clips and more particularly the oxygen in the air will degrade / attack the rubber (cracking) over time. So - with this in mind, I was thinking that Rigid PVC Tube could do a similar job, and there is a variety of sizes - and also different Wall Thicknesses to handle the pressure (if needed). If PVC was used for transporting the Coolant, there would also be no metal clips that could leak around the rubber hose. All PVC pipes and tubes can be formed, and all PVC joints are completely sealed with the special PVC Glue. Aluminium Tube will also require a good Inhibitor, or the Coolant will eat through the aluminium wall thickness. I am thinking that (when the car has been completed, it may be difficult to access those leaking tubes and rubber hoses! PVC can be painted in Matt Black, and clipped to the car body for neatness. I just had to write about this, and gauge some reaction from your Fans. Greetings from Australia.

Superb, as always

Nice work 😀

nice work dude.

This episode I spot on for my project Matt. Thank you. I'm using an electric pump on my ducati supermono replica and want to control the speed of flow. Can I do this with simple bosch pumps as found on mercs for auxiliary heating systems or do they have to be a clever motor? I'm a spanner and lathe man so not so clever on the electronic front.

This satisfied the car nerd in me. Love Teslas and fat fender cars.

You really should put a fan shroud on the fan/radiator. I'd recommend a cookie sheet you don't mind cutting a big hole for the fan in

It's always tempting to weld unique fittings to an aftermarket radiator (I have one on my classic car). BUT, the radiator is probably the most vulnerable part of the drivetrain. If a deer runs out in front of you, or a garbage truck reverses into you, you're in trouble. If you had simply made an adapter for the existing rad, then you could simply organise an immediate replacement, even 200 miles from home. With the custom made fitting on your rad, you'll probably end up coming back home on a very expensive tow truck. Alternatively, you could make an adapter that fits the original rad fitting and simply keep in the glovebox. That way you can forget about this tiresome issue.

I feel so much cooler now that I see a cooling system!

Check out the Derale PWM dual fan controller. You might be able to tie one leg to your fan and split off the other leg to your pumps for a more robust solution than the Arduino.

"Functional cooling system on the (SuperfastMatt's) Jag". That's what I've been waiting for!

Very interesting ... thanks

For fan speed many people use the electric volvo fans from volvo 200 700 and 900-series of cars. Cheap fans that can run in two speeds and have an external fan relay. On the fan relay you ground the inputs with an ecu or a two speed temp sensor. The double relay is built to make it that makes it impossible to run both high and low speed at the same time. Popular in many car builds where you want to change from belt driven fan to a high performance fan for a very low price.

Fascinating.
