AMSOIL Dominator® Coolant Boost

Provides Effective Heat Transfer and Enhanced Corrosion Protection!

Racers demand lower engine operating temperatures in order to achieve maximum efficiency and horsepower on the track, while the straight water coolant used by many racers opens engines up to damaging radiator and water pump corrosion. AMSOIL Dominator® Coolant Boost (RDCB) provides racers and motorists with significantly lower engine operating temperatures, quicker engine warm-up times and advanced corrosion protection.

Dominator Coolant Boost is formulated with proprietary tiered surfactant technology, providing quick and effective heat transfer inside radiators and cylinder heads, which results in reduced operating temperatures, more efficient operation, increased horsepower and significantly reduced engine warm-up times in cold weather. Coolant Boost also contains a robust mixture of corrosion inhibitors that protect the radiator, heater core, water pump, cylinder heads, engine block and intake manifold from the damaging effects of corrosion.

Temperature Reduction Dynamometer Test

To test the temperature reduction capabilities of Dominator Coolant Boost, dyno tests were performed on a Chevy 350 cubic inch engine with an aluminum block and cylinder heads. Running the test with both straight water and water treated with Coolant Boost, the engine was operated at 4,500 rpm until coolant temperature stabilized.

COOLANT MIXTURE STABILIZED COOLANT TEMPERATURE

Straight Water 221°F

Water with Coolant Boost 202°F



Test results show water treated with Coolant Boost provided a 19°F temperature reduction.

Aluminum Corrosion Test

The Aluminum Corrosion Test (ASTM D-4340) measures the corrosion protection properties of Dominator Coolant Boost in modern automobile and high-performance race engines with aluminum cylinder heads. A cast aluminum puck was heated to 275°F at 28 PSI and exposed to the test coolant mixture for one week. Weight loss of less than 1.0 mg is required to pass the test.


COOLANT MIXTURE WEIGHT LOSS

Straight Water 3.97 mg/cm2/wk

Water with Coolant Boost 0.14 mg/cm2/wk

Test results show water treated with Coolant Boost easily passed the Aluminum Corrosion Test.

Metal Corrosion Test

The Metal Corrosion Test (ASTM D-2570) measures corrosion protection properties in automotive cooling systems. Using ASTM corrosive water designed to simulate hard and corrosive water in degraded coolant, six metal coupons constructed of the most common metals in automotive cooling systems were exposed to the test coolant mixture at 190°F. The coolant was maintained at a temperature and flow rate equivalent to the operating conditions seen in most passenger vehicles. Corrosive weight loss suffered during the test determines the additive’s corrosion protection properties.


Recommendations

Dominator Coolant Boost is recommended with both racing applications using straight water coolant and automotive applications using 50/50 coolant/water mixtures.

Directions: With engine off and cool, make sure cooling system is filled with selected coolant. Shake bottle and pour calculated amount of Coolant Boost into radiator. Start engine, turn heat on high and run for 15 minutes. Do NOT use distilled water unless mixed with 50% antifreeze.

Dosage: For straight water applications, add 2 fl. oz. of Coolant Boost per quart of tap or softened water. For 50/50 coolant/water applications, add 1 fl . oz. of Coolant Boost per quart of 50/50 mix.

Frequency: In applications using Coolant Boost with straight water, drain and re-fill the coolant system and add Coolant Boost once per year or when indicated by color change. A distinctive pH color change indicates when the pH has fallen to a point where corrosion can set in. When the Coolant Boost/water mixture changes from pink to clear, another dosage of Coolant Boost should be added. Monitoring the pH level will ensure all vital areas of the cooling system are protected against corrosion.

In applications using Coolant Boost with 50/50 coolant/water mixtures, add Coolant Boost once per year or every 30,000 miles, whichever comes first. Follow coolant manufacturer recommendations for coolant change intervals

Injen/AMSOIL Diesel Air Intake Systems are manufactured with aerospace alloy T6 aluminum, stainless steel clamps and tig-welded ports and brackets. They are dyno-tuned for peak performance and have a direct bolt in application, making installation quick and easy. INJEN/AMSOIL Air Intake Systems

Intake System Design

Air intake systems serve several important functions. Primarily, they are used to increase the amount of oxygen available to the engine and reduce air turbulence increasing power. Because cool air has greater density than hot air, aftermarket intakes improve combustion of fuel by capturing cooler air from outside the engine compartment. In addition, an aftermarket air intake system increases the diameter of the intake as compared to the original equipment, increasing air flow into the engine and making more oxygen available during the combustion process.

By designing a more direct route for the air entering the engine, as well as a smoother interior surface for the intake, air resistance is reduced and air flow is increased. To protect the engine from damaging dirt, cold air intakes are also equipped with filters. Air intake systems can improve gas mileage and increase performance, and they also add a sleek, custom look to a vehicle.

Additional Information

When using a cold air intake system with a gasoline engine in harsh rains or flooding where the filter becomes submerged in water, the engine may ingest water potentially causing hydrolock and engine damage. If possible, it is highly recommend to avoid puddles or flooding conditions. Under normal driving conditions, rain is usually not a problem.

Top Truck Challenge Takes No Prisoners

Top Truck Challenge Takes No Prisoners

As mentioned earlier this week, the 2010 Top Truck Challenge in Hollister Hills, CA is underway and is showing no mercy to this year’s competitors. We just got a report from Len Groom, the AMSOIL Technical Product Manager who is witnessing the action live, and the week has been full of both triumphs and tribulations for all of the competitors.

Wednesday’s challenge was the Obstacle Course, which ended up swiftly claiming three vehicles. Obstacle designer Dan Black said he had “no idea one little shelf would claim so many vehicles”. Ryan Knoche in his Samurai Buggy was the first one to be taken down after coming down hard on the shelf and breaking the front driveshaft. Still, he was able to finish the course with only his two-wheel drive to carry him through. Up next was Darren Sinkey in his red Bronco, where the dreaded shelf also caught him up and broke a tie rod end. He ended up with just one wheel to steer while the other one dragged along uselessly. He gave it a valiant effort, but ended up having to be extracted with a bulldozer.

The last victim turned out to be innovative enough to turn the tables on the obstacle course. Roger King in his truck named Elmo (top right) ended up breaking the steering knuckle on a 2.5 ton Rockwell axle--not an easy feat. It wasn’t enough to take him out since he still had rear steering, and in a Top Truck Challenge first Roger flipped his truck around and finished the obstacle course backwards.

The Hill Climb event was described as ‘totally insane’ this year, with two rollovers in the first 100 feet. While the Hill Climb doesn’t sound like much of a challenge, at these angles it is near-impossible to clear. Add some good surprises such as curves, loose dirt and deep holes and it becomes a Top Truck Challenge Hill Climb. The Mini-Rubicon was next, a course of treacherous pile of boulders that the competitors must make it through. Judge Toby Lavender described the Mini-Rubicon event as impassable this year, but was soon proved wrong by Leo Keuther in his ‘Fat Girl’ buggy. Given 20 minutes to navigate through the course, Keuther set a course record and completed it in just 57 seconds. Those are amazing results in a challenge of this magnitude.

Today is the final day of the Top Truck Challenge, and the last event is the dreaded Tank Trap. A ¼ mile valley that climbs 195 feet in elevation from start to finish, nature assists in making this course as perilous as it is. A natural canyon and slippery rock waterfalls all bordered by sheer rock walls create an already immensely challenging course. However, the TTC makes it even more difficult by adding some massively deep holes and filling them with water, just to make it a little more interesting. The intense nature of this final challenge results in double points for those that complete it.

This event is something you have to see to believe. The 2010 Top Truck Challenge is being filmed for an upcoming DVD release, so you won’t miss a moment of the action. Coverage will also be in future issues of Four Wheeler Magazine, at www.fourwheeler.com and here in the AMSOIL Promotions blog.

Brady Smith Starts Gearing Up for Dream 100 Following WVMS Doubleheader

Brady Smith Starts Gearing Up for Dream 100 Following WVMS Doubleheader

 SOLON SPRINGS, WISCONSIN)  The Brady Smith Racing team was scheduled to compete in a Memorial Day holiday weekend tripleheader in the states of Pennsylvania and West Virginia from May 28-30. However, the $10,000 to win weekend opener at the Bedford Speedway in Bedford, Pennsylvania on Friday night was washed out. Following the rain-out, the resurrected West Virginia Motor Speedway in Mineral Wells, West Virginia took center stage on Saturday and Sunday with a pair of World of Outlaws Late Model Series shows.

At WVMS on Saturday, Brady Smith timed in tenth fastest in WOOLMS qualifying and later won the B-Main to earn the nineteenth starting spot in the $8,000 to win main event. After thirty green flag racing laps around the 5/8-mile speedplant, Brady wound up twenty-second in the final rundown. In the $10,000 to win finale on Sunday at WVMS, the "Prodigy" qualified sixteenth fastest in time trials and later grabbed the fifth transfer position in his competitive heat race. Brady started the 40-lap feature event from the inside of the seventh row and later survived a tangle on lap 16 to finish in the seventeenth spot. He currently finds himself eighth in the latest WOOLMS point standings following Memorial Day weekend. You can view complete results online at www.worldofoutlaws.com.

The Solon Springs, Wisconsin driver and his #2 team have elected to take the upcoming June 4-5 weekend off from Dirt Late Model competition.  They will be busy; however, as they prepare their equipment for the $100,000 to win ‘Dream 100.’  The highest-paying race in our industry will take place at the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio on Friday and Saturday, June 11-12.  Additional information concerning the ‘Dream 100’ program at the “Big E” can be found online at www.eldoraspeedway.com.
