ENGINE ICE

Is engine ice really better than other coolants? I've been hearing mixed reviews. I currently run Pro Honda HP Coolant and my bike has been overheating at every mud race I do.

Sup?




Don't really know. I've never really had an engine overheating issue, so the one bike I did splurge on and run engine ice I couldn't tell I difference anyway because there wasn't a problem to begin with. I would say go for it.... it's not going to be any worse

Engine Ice is as good as anything, if you have a over heating problem changing coolant brand isn't going to help you.

Figure out what the issue is , fix it, then worry about what brand you want to run, Engine Ice would be a good choice.

We have been using it for a while now with great results. Dave the owner is a great guy that's into the sport.

Yes, it works well. I run it in all of our bikes.

How much does an engine cost? How much for some Engine Ice?

I know there are several teams running EI in their bikes while someone else's sticker is on the side.

Engine Ice is the #1 selling MC coolant for a reason ..... IT WORKS!

If you run it back to back with any regular ethylene or propylene glycol coolant with water wetter or.equivalent it works the same.

Since engine ice is.non toxic, it suggests its propylene glycol.

I don't feel they have managed to go beyond the laws of physics

No they haven't. They've come up with a good mix that does what they advertise, which is more than you'll get out of auto store coolants. I run that in my GNCC bike. (RMZ-250 with 290 kit, cams, Leo Vince Exhaust front to back). Does not overheat. Last GNCC I boiled out a ton of coolant, and my engine never did overheat...when I changed out the banana that used to be a radiator, I drained the coolant...got maybe 3/4 cup out of it..

In short, I swear by Engine ICE. I know the stuff works, and in conjunction with a high pressure radiator cap, you can't go wrong. (don't get Tusk rad caps....the spring in the 1.6 bar cap is has about as much tension as overcooked spaghetti) Go with CV4 or Myler's instead.

Dave's one of the good guys! here's a painting he commissioned of his uncle in Florida who got him into dirt bikes. Dave gave the painting to his dad!

I use ei in all my bikes mainly cause it works well, and ei Dave supports the sport. I did notice a drop in Temps on my 07, used to spit coolant in long muddy motos, not anymore. On my 2010 I installed a boyesen supercooler. That may help you more than coolant alone

I used to put a float in a parade every year at the end summer. We'd have bikes ride along side of the float. It would usually be 85-100, depending on the year. The first couple years, my bike would start boiling over within the first 20 minutes...very little air flow. I then started using EI. The next 5 years I didn't have a drop come out....

Take from that what you want....

dave sent me this kit one time that had a brush and some thick aluminum paint.

it was for painting on the carb bowl to reflect heat and prevent fuel boil.

i used it but never boiled fuel before since i used oxidized fuel the bike ran cool.

never knew what became of that kit testing,be moot with efi now i guess.

saw dave at atlanta this year,looked good,must a stopped smoking,he wasnt wrinkled like a prune no more.

Yup, I passed a black pick up with an FMF decal and what looked like a rider's number plate and waved, when exiting at the airport, so it's cool that it was someone I kinda know.

I typically avoid these threads because they start fights and stuff, but let me just say this, individual results are going to vary, because there are so many variables....weight, altitude, humidity, engine condition and even the condition of the clutch. We've never claimed or promised a specific result or to have altered physics, but, while water is the ultimate coolant, it is possible to assist that water by smoothing out the flow of it (reducing surface tension) and improving the boil and freeze points over plain water. You can also improve the quality of what you put into your radiator, by making sure what you're putting in is free of contaminations. For example, tap water, which is full of all kinds of minerals and chemicals, is not going to flow as smoothly as a purified Deionized or RO water, because those contaminants create a "drag" of the fluid inside the system. That's the purpose of water wetter, to reduce that drag (surface tension). The same goes for the antifreeze portion, keeping that drag reduced so that the overall flow of the product within the system is as smooth as possible, keeping that surface tension to a minimum.

As mentioned earlier, there must be a reason Engine Ice is the top selling coolant and antifreeze in the motorcycle and power sports industry and there must be a reason why OEM teams, top OEM teams, ask us to send them product even though they're sponsored by someone else, and we do so quietly, without fanfare or recognition, but we know what's in those bikes on the line, and we know what we've won and we know who's testing and evaluating our product on a daily basis, secretly.

And now that we have moved our production facility to Ohio, to one of the, if not the, most experienced companies in the antifreeze and coolant business to help refine down our formulation even more, you or anyone should feel pretty confident in your choice of Engine Ice.

I heard it was nothing more than purple Kool-Aid.









Ducks and runs. Actually it's good stuff, I use it in all my bikes.

My buddy and I were some of the first to run it. We were the only ones not overheating at a Travis Blackburn riding school back when it was a new product. Same bikes were spilling over and ours ran cool all day and I would say I was riding harder and longer than most as well that day. I will always run it in my bikes.

I've used Engine Ice in every watercooled race engine I have had for the past 12 years. I would never claim anything other than I have not had a coolant problem in any of the engines and that my radiators have always been spotless. The other reason I use it is because its a company that's owned by a good guy that supports the tiny niche sport that is motocross. Too bad it wasn't around back in 1986 so I would not have had to pay $400 to replace a CR125 magnesium side cover that got eaten away from normal coolant.

It is definitely overpriced kool aid, but they have cool stickers.

Ronnie Mac runs PBR (not that bullshit light stuff, but PBR heavy) and says it just does fine.

I have a Factory Services 450 motor and a 350 that I abuse in Baja.

They both run Engine Ice exclusively.
