stage 2 cooling without heatsink
ive got a stage 2 motor in my skyline with the heatsink but ive got a supra for christmas an im gonna put one of the stage 2's in it but im worried about cooling does it get hot enough to matter
actually i thought it might keep it cooler without a heatsink
any idea's?
i have an old processor heatsink i could dremel an put on the top of the motor can?

if you can make your own metal rear engine holder you could put the heatsink from the processor on that. but i would dremel it to make it fit. you dont really need to use the heatsink but i feel better with it on. it stays pretty much stone cold with it on

if you run it for too long won't the plastic holder eventually melt?
