To be clear, I sell custom made-to-order jewelry with man made diamonds, I don't offer DLC coatings. Was just simply sharing a complimentary tech to my work that may be of interest to folks here to reduce the BTUs you need to shed from your systems by reducing friction.

Here's a paper from Honda F1 claming they deduced friction in the transmission by 3.3kW with DLC:

Honestly, I'm not sure. The coating is only a few microns thick, and I think the proper setup of the ring and pinion is far more important than a lower friction coating of the gears.

Background:

Mercury Racing SB4 - running this C&R radiator (link below)with the 13 plate EOC and PSC. Added an Accusump, remote therm and filter into the circuit which should bring some added cooling capacity with volume and oil starvation insurance. Also larger remote PS reservoir. The MR ECU controls the fans. Vaporworx for PWM fuel delivery. I will have to watch for any radiator failures as I did not isolate(floating) the mounting as you have.

Added trans cooler with T56 internal pump. Diff gears are REM treated but no cooler thus far. We'll see how it does. Will monitor every temp with a Motec dash logger.



Q: Is the C&R radiator with integrated PSC and EOC the same capacity/specs on the 'Mark Stielow spec' or different?

I would be guessing looking at the photo. Call Phil at C&R he can tell you for sure. Great guy.

I spoke with Phil...as you said great guy with a wealth of information. Basic summary is very similar capacity in cooling for the EOC and PSC although quite different in shape and size but your radiator capacity is a bit larger which you were probably aware. The PS cooler is the same one used in Nascar btw.

Mark,

I know that with your radiator, you have the weight of the unit sitting on those pins using the C6 bushing/grommet attached to your frame rails.

The brackets and bushing/grommet you're using on the side of the end tanks, where are they from?

Thanks!

John

Apparently the secret is to order it from Summit Racing on the west-coast... Sparks, NV.

The description on Summit said "plastic", but this is what I got

Mark,

I don't think you've told us about your transmission? What clutch are you going to run and what mods are done to it to help it survive from all that power and your driving style?

I went to the Centerforce DYAD clutch on the last 4 builds. Low pedal effort, easy to modulate and holds the power if you break it in properly. It also has a good hi RPM reserve when installed with the Centerforce throw out bearing. Their throw out bearing give a bit more travel and make red line shifts super clean.

No mods to the T56? Are you running the Super Magnum?

I had D&D Performance tuned up my T56 Magnum. Their shop is 5 miles from my house and they are great to deal with.

Off memory replaced all the nylon sliders with brass and added better synchronizers where needed.

I also have 6th gear swapped to a 0.5 ratio to make cruising on the highway at 80 mph at around 1840 rpm.
