What liquid combination, of water and or coolant, cools these beasts the best? Thanks!

Ive always ran engine ice. Never had an overheating issue with decent jetting.

always thought about trying Engine Ice but never did, but normally I run distilled water, 25% coolant along with Water Wetter

Straight water and water wetter or Dominator coolant boost in the summer but don't used distilled water with the amsoil one!!

Doesn't one of these Wetter Water or Engine Ice, not mix well with antifreeze-coolant? Needed to completely flush out the system?

water wetter is fine with anti-freeze but I do think you have to flush the system for the engine ice

Doesn't take much to flush a 250r coolant system, I just did my diesel f250, and used 15gallons of distilled water.

I have used Engine Ice in all my 2 strokes for over 5 years now. They run cooler and never a problem and have not froze during the winter down to 0 degrees and do not overheat in temps as high as 93 degrees. You do have to flush the system to use it. And do not dilute Engine ice or add anything to it. You run it straight.

This is good to know. Thanks for all the replies.

I use and race with straight water with Amsoil Dominator Coolant Boost added. Has worked very well for me and no overheating issues.

water is alway's the best conductor of heat!!!water wetter help's keep thing's lubed up,and resist's corrosion.so for me in the summer,i use water,and water wetter.in the winter for storage,i use anti freeze.

I agree with this especially if you are a racer. I would much rather pull an engine down that has water in it than slippery nasty anti-freeze.

I agree, That's nasty. The thing I like about Dominator Coolant boost is it has awesome anti-corrosion properties plus in can reduce the water temperature down to 19° cooler.
