Engine Ice?

[black sunshine]

Are there any good/bad things to say about engine ice? I just see it advertised alot and wanted to know if was worth it.

[ranshee]

Mos def. No overheating probs here. Even dropped my temp a bit

[FadedDreams]

Engine Ice is probably the best stuff i've used for the banshee.I don't know if it actually cools as much as they claim on the jug,but its helps enough that you won't be overheating anytime soon.At least it helped mine out alot.

I agree, good stuff. Down side is it is $17 a bottle.

17 bucks a bottle is better then a overheated motor that locks up and cost a grand or more to fix

 

and yes its good shit... i use redline water wetter and distilled water works good but the ice is ready to be used so thats a plus.

Nothing cools better than redline water wetter and water. Only disadvantge is no freeze protection.

I use the redline water wetter and distilled water too it works awesome.

Both Engine Ice and Water Wetter work by the same principle. When the coolant encounters a hotspot and boils, it forms bubbles. While there are bubbles on the metal, there is no coolant touching it and cooling it off. The surfactants that make up Engine Ice and Water Wetter keep those bubbles from attaining any size, and make sure they don't stick to the metal.

 

Either one will do the same thing, although Engine Ice is more expensive. And since it drops the freezing temperature (containts antifreeze), it more than likely won't cool as well as straight Water Wetter and water. Myself I use 1/4 toyota red antifreeze with 3/4 water, and water wetter. Don't really need too much freeze protection here, rarely gets lower than the teens here in the winter.

engine ice works grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!!!!!!!!

[streetbanshee]

yea i noticed a temperature drop on my shee wit the engine ice good stuff

That and it is known to be corrosive to plastic/acrylic over time and does not do a very good job of anti corrosion by itself either. But yea that mixed with straight distilled water will provide excelent cooling results but will not protet your motor as well from other issues.

 

I used to runt he water wetter (super toxic) but have since switched to engine ice.

 

I prefer the engine ice, since it is non toxic and blue . The only disadvantage I have sceen is that it tends to get little floaties in it over time, but this is probably not much of an issue on the banshee since there is little that should plug up.

I rim engine ice in my shee AND in my XC racing YFZ,, and it works great in both bikes,

I have noticed it keeps the shee a bit cooler, espically when climbing the sand wall in our local sand pits,, and in my yFZ,, it keeps the bike cooler when running the races

engine ice works!

[kb7kuh]

Works great and no overheating after putting it in.
