1g overheating.

[Halon]

I actually just replaced the switch in the radiator. If your fans aren't coming on, that could be it. I will be replacing the one around the T-Stat housing though, the one that sends the temp signal to the ECU.

And I believe the OEM thermostat opens at 180.

OEM thermostat is rated at 194* I believe.

Have you thought about wiring your fans to be on all the time or by switch

[Kracka]

Start by getting some fresh coolant and some Water Wetter in there.

I had an issue with a cheap t-stat too. Damn thing was bad right out of the package. I only use Mitsu ones now. I thought I remembered reading that there were some lower temp Mitsu ones, but that was a while ago.

I keep reading that there are 180 ones around, i called BP mitsu and they only have a 88C one, yeah dumb ass didn't know what it was in F. Any who its a 190 they have which makes sense since that is when the ecu goes into learn mode.

I keep hearing that there is a 180 from mitsu, but that dude at BPM didn't know of it.

Also, i wanted to know if anyone knows how the Fans work?
By this i mean do they have 2 speeds at which they turn on, mine right now kick on at 203 but at a really high speed, isnt there some lower speed that they turn on?

Brandon was telling me that he heard of using a diff sensor (ford, gm, etc) to have the fans turn on at a lower temp. does anyone know about this?

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

As far as I know, the fans only have one speed.

Ok, thanks.

Well i found a 170 stat from mitsu, its on the way thanks to Bill@MAP.
ALso i put on the 16lbs cap.

I will also be trying to make some ducting soon.
