I swear if I thought I would be in this for a decade or more it would be tempting ! ! After filling to 5k with the Tux slowly top to 6 k with the Gx in stages. Haa 50 liters , Naa …. I like playing with the compressors too. Just put second radiator on the
Tux
Yea. I know what you mean. I like pushing the envelope a little but I really like when I figure out a simple yet impactful hack. But then I don't know what to do with it. I wish I could download it the way I see it so everyone will understand it from that perspective, without all the back n forth over and over and I end up feeling like I have to defend myself for thinking.
On the other hand, a lot of my hacks require an egg or two to break when most of us are all about displaying our eggs . I know I'm guilty of that. It's hard for me yo to make that first cut on a new tool in order to make it a better tool. I try to modify without making permanent sacrifices until I'm totally positive about my decision and I know my options won't change. Then I put the whole thing on a back burner and move onto something else while that back burner goes out and gets cold..
Like my repipe I was going to do on my compressor. I spent a couple days figuring out which fittings and what kind of tubing and where to route and to incorporate the cooling water lines to maximize the cooling effort and blah, blah, blah ...to the back burner it all went until last week when I thought about adjusting the PRV. ..Now I'm thinking about making an oil cooler.
I'm thinking about tapping that cover low and high and coming out the bottom to an inline electric pump, into the cooling water reservoir, coil coil coil back out of the cooling water and into the top of the crank case cover. Keeping it a closed loop system, but my cooling water will stay an open system. It's too easy to cool with an open system.
I added two 3 prong outlets on the side where my electricity hooks up. I used those little modular ones that you see on the back of stereo components. But I wish I would have made them switched Outlets instead of live when the compressor is live I plug both aquarium pumps into them. I have one for each head. I have a third one to circulate water over a cooling tower that I made but it works just as good if I drop the two coming from the head up high and let the water falling. The falling down cools It Off I think better than the radiator. Also I squirt some surfactant in with the water to break its surface tension a little bit. It's from a company called liquid Harvest. It's made for use with herbicides to make the water wetter so the herbicide penetrates the leaves better
I don't know if you read my comment about brake line protector being used as a heat sink. I think that would work for the oil cooler line also
