Anyone use water wetter or a similar product ?

My turbo neon already has a Aluminum radiator, both oil and coolant plumbed in/out of the turbo. I would like to switch to a 70water/30coolant mixture. Right now its 50/50 or even more since it sat over winter :thumbsup

Then my bro said if I'm going to a 70water/30coolant just run all water and get some type of water wetter that has the Lubricating property's needed to keep everything running smooth.

I would like to have a cool running car that I can take anywhere :thumbsup

Do you think there would be a issue switching to this, the motor has probably 2k on it and its seeing green coolant all its life.

Ive used it in Dirtrack roundy rounds. Every guy I know uses it. It does help when your running 50 laps and come to a stop in the race and your just idling while setting up the field again plus the water pump bearings like it more than straight water. The less antifreeze the better it works in a streetcar. (stating obvious)

It's used to make the water more adhesive than cohesive. It works.

If you have anything in your cooling system that is "lubricated" using coolant you've probably got problems.

I was once told by a engine builder from out west that water wetter will cause corrosion in stored engines. He didn't tell me a time frame just to never run it in anything I cared about especially if it has a aluminum block and head .
