I need a compact way to cool an engine.

I have a 48 cylinder modular engine using 1x1 parts, and a 3x3x8 area infront of it available for cooling, I have a reasonably large water tank available for cooling but I want to use it as efficiently as possible as the vehicle needs to travel quite far. I had been considering submerging the engine in water and cycling that water through radiators and back to the tank to cool, before being sent back through another radiator to submerge the engine, but I haven't tested this yet and don't know if better methods are available.

May I ask why you decided on a straight-48 engine instead of something more...realistic? Seems like the design equivalent of painting yourself into a corner.

radial 48*
The engine needs to be concealed inside a tube thats 3x3 on the inside and it needs a lot of torque, so a long radial engine was my only good option.

keep the RPS as low as possible so you don't need a ridiculous cooling system. Gearing will be your friend here.

10rps runs it for what i need but it still climbs, hit 40 degrees last test before my bad driving blew it up

Back in the day you could use seawater as coolant like a normal boat would. No sense carrying around coolant when you're sailing in a....sea of it. You could try a liquid to liquid heat exchanger setup before piping it into your radiator. Let the ocean cool your freshwater coolant down before letting the radiator have-at.

how do you move the water in your cooling? how far?

3x3 would be difficult to put in multiple coolant loops, or can you use the wall for piping?

dude, put one cooling manifold one each bank of cylinders you have a water cflow issue. not enough fluid moving fast enough. try that frist
