i have seen a few n/a timers on the market, they are the same concept as a turbo timer.....now i dont know how good they would be on just regular piston cars, like i dont know if they would make any difference, but do you think they would make some difference to the 8? by letting the car run a bit longer, because the whole car would just be running and not just the fans
i dont know a whole lot about letting this car run longer, i.e. if it would make any difference.....just an idea!

the delay engine shut-off computer?? not really an issue unless you're a freakin' moron, and run you car ragged, then pull to the side of the road and want to shut it off with your muffler glowing red.

the deal is that driving easily for a cool-down period after a fun run will cool the car far more effectively than letting it idle with the fan sucking air through the rad for a few minutes. it's far less of an issue than with monster horsepower turbo motors, and even in that circle there're still debates about the utility of a turbo-timer (can cause heat soak and inadequate lubrication).

 

thats interesting what you say about the turbo timers in turbo cars....i had never thought about heat soak and the inadequate lubrication thing! but it makes sense!

Might be a good idea for rotary owners with F'ing relatives that F'ing move there car 3 F'ing inches to trim an F'ing bush. That felt good.
