Dual cooling diagrams/questions

[Superjet Geoff]

Okey doke. After much searching, reading, etc. I'm more or less sure of the general idea of what i'll be doing for my dual cooling.

Just wanted to throw up a diagram for anyone to critique.

Question though: I am using my stock exhaust manifold, which is only set up with one fitting, so is there room for a drill/tap second fitting, or should I just stick with one?

The photo is my drawing.

Other than that, does my setup look good?

and before anyone says "make sure you need it", I'm doing it for not only piece of mind, but i plan on getting a LPW port this winter, :love:, so i figured I should do this now while im in the pump area (pump cone), and installing a "new" pipe.

Thanks for any help guys,

Geoff

This pic is one from Freestyleriverrat in tech faq that kinda shows my question about dual tapping my stock manifold better.

(also where i got the guideline for my setup)

I run both lines into the bottom of the manifold one bypass out of the head at the rear cylinder to the pisser, the other bypass out of the top fitting on the headpipe to the tee to jetworks valve ( the pisser in inline with main part of the tee) (see pic in avatar)

For someone who is new, what would be the advantage of dual cooling?

I understand it will help with extending the life of engine, but is there really that many problems that require the need for dual cooling?

Thanks

sorry off topic but what program can you doodle and stuff with?

only reason i can see that dual cooling benefits is if you run in the surf or shallow water frequently and a clog is a possibility, if one line gets clogged the other one still provides water to the motor.

many people run one line for cooling the motor and the second line into the b pipe, so the pipe and motor cooling are separated.

but i wouldn't loose the bilge line unless you do not have a mechanical means of removing water from the hull like a scupper or a pair of bilge pumps.


if your gonna be running the stock pipe i wouldn't even bother with the dual cooling... its simple to do when you want it done, just need to tap the pump and switch the 2 lines on either end.

or if your running a motor with internal work that needs the extra cooling
