I actually would like to make my engine cooler to decrease the heat it produces.
Does anyone know what i can do?

Hello, there are aftermarket radiators, different thermostats, and other alternatives.
This is something you should research, but I'm pretty sure other more knowledgeable members might help you.

Well, if you want to reduce the amount of heat the engine produces in the first place, you need to find ways to restrict the amount of power the engine produces, as well as making the engine more thermodynamically efficient. A rotary wastes a lot of the combustion in simple heat, more so than piston engines.

I'm guessing that this isn't what you meant to ask though.



If you mean that you want your engine coolant to run cooler, then the first set of questions I have back to you are:

Do you know how the engine makes heat? When it makes the most heat? Do you know what the individual components of the cooling system do?

We could list off parts, but the reality is most of it will be a complete waste if your car already has no problem holding a good temperature. It is far more productive to educate yourself on what temps you run and under what conditions, so you can make an informed decision about what may or may not reduce the temps for your specific car.
