If you can keep the moving parts warm (cylinders, and pump heads i reckon you'd be onto something.
It would have to get pretty hot to warm the whole system up !</strong><hr></blockquote>
maybe have some inline heaters that allow the flow between the cylinder(s) and pump(s)w/o restrictions?have a custom tranny pan that heats up hydro juice while the car is driven using the tranny fluid as a heater? too much time thinking.
