Fixed 80mm pulley...cooling?

Hello! Just need to know if I can run a fixed 80mm pulley without any additional cooling mods? If not what’s the best cheapest way to keep it cool and not f up the engine. Thanks!

-Water wetter lol

I don't think you'll like it without some cooling, IMO. I'd say get a heat exchanger and new pump and call it a day. Both are pretty cheap and easy to install yourself (or not too bad if you must pay someone). I'd just see you really enjoying it at times but feeling very limited when you get the inevitable heat soak. If you have the pulley on now, then I'm sure you've already got this feeling that your car isn't pulling as hard as you were expecting at times.

All Fixed pulleys required additional cooling modifications. Id recommend at least Stage 2 cooling for an 80mm

Which is HE
Split cooling
Pump
Without split cooling water wetter is doing nothing for you.

Yep, and I'd guess w/ the palm trees in the pic you are in a warm climate. I needed a larger heat exchanger and new pump when I was running an 80mm FSP, and I'm in Seattle..
