overheating......

[talonite]

ok so i have eliminated almost all of my options on how to solve this coolant bursting out of the over flow container problem. on the dsm link it will read my coolant temp is at 130 but in reality its at 178-190 or operating temp. i have switched out the coolant temp sensor twice and checked the resistance on it and it was all in spec. i have also changed the headgasket water pump and all those belts, and well as the radiator cap and thermostat twice(first on was cooler) but i went back to stock. Im starting to wonder if maybe its a tuning issue? I dunno any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Tell us what mods you have, including tuning, boost you run at, how you typically drive, how you have been driving when this happens, etc etc etc. More detail plz.

Puking coolant is typically a HG issue :(

[FattyBoomBatty]

I concur. When does it puke? Will it overheat while just sitting there idling?

I had this same problem with my car... I'm guessing you are the one that still has a/c? If so I went through everything you are going through currently. I even took out my a/c trying to eliminate my overheating problem.. It ended up being that my fans weren't flowing enough air to keep my car cool. I had 2 12" mishimoto slim fans and it still wasn't enough..

Long story short I ended up having MAP weld an elbow onto my turbo so I could fit a stock fan into the engine bay... Also, on link I made it so that the fans are on at all times... Problem solved...

Lmk if this is of any help.. I went through so much more then stated but I didnt want to write a book about it lol

Are you fans kicking on once the engine gets hot?

[GsXtUrBo98]

You could also try and get a lower temp thermastat... Or drill a hole or two into yours.

his fans are always on via dsmlink. car was running fine 2 months ago, evo3 2g ported exhaust, stock radiator, o2 external dump. pretty much stock...

Ok then this might not be the same guy I thought it was...

My input might still help but it was pointed at someones elses car with a built motor....

It would seem to be a head gasket to me if he was pretty much stock.. only other thing is when did u put in the front mount?? It may be restricting the air flow into the engine bay.. Also, what fans are you running. Stock?? Some more info might help out some

[jhaan_dude]

slimline fans, car never overheated, im sure its a headgasket issue. i believe its the stock 7 bolt. i would have to call him and see if he has a built motor, i thought it was stock...
