    How do you stop a VN from overheating during a burnout?

    Dont "stand still", keep the car moving. Maybe also put a switch on the thermo fan.

    More fuel and turning the fan on earlier usually does the trick. I look after most the local injected burnout cars and haven't lost one yet

    greenfoams onto it turn down the vehicle speed cutout for the cooling fan so it doesnt turn off over 40kmh and turn the temp down to activate it works great

    just remember that the fans are the most important part. a big thick radiator won't do much without air flow

    this should help too: How to fit thermo fan bypass switch

    thats what i did with my last race car and will do with my current project as a safety precaution seems to be things change on the day (temperature airflow ect) and i may or may not need it so better to do the little bit of wiring then blow a rad
