I have removed the heater matrix on my track car and need to pipe together i believe so as to retain the flow.

my question is where to buy the pipe from ?

And will this improve cooling ?

 

I THINK it's just a bit of 15mm copper pipe, as used by plumbers, and some Jubilee clips.

And no, it won't improve cooling unless there was a fault on the matrix.

In fact, on an old Ford Escort MkIII, I used to run with the heater full on when climbing mountain passes fully loaded, and I could SEE the temperature gauge falling. Same trick worked on the 1.8 Sierra when towing.

 

i can see the 2 spouts coming from the block just wondered if anyone had done this and know where to get a u peice plastic pipe from il measure it and maybe get a samco or equivilant cheers.
