best way i found is leave cap off and squeeze the lower rad hose. start car and leave the cap off turn the heater on full blast. when its fully warmed up replace the cap before turning the car off.

Inside engine bay seems better to me. pull cool air in to the bay and hot out. plus it should help cool that manifold.

Do you have the fans wired for lo and hi together?

+1 sir

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

I personally prefer a pull setup with a shroud. That way you aren't blocking any airflow into the radiator, and the shroud helps move air across all the radiator fins, not just the ones directly in front of the fan. I used to also setup the one fan closest to the manifold to be constantly on, that way it was always blowing the hot exhaust manifold air away.

Also a lot of people talk smack about aftermarket fans. I have one stock and one aftermarket. They are hooked up to the stock wiring. With the wiring I tied the positives together and then to my fans, and the negatives together and then to my fans, this way both my fans turn on for lo and hi.

Those things are awesome when trying to get all the air out of the system.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Yes they are! That's what I use

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

ah looks much better than cramming a funnel in there like i did.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

When trying to remedy this when we took the first drive; we let the car sit turned on and let it warm up with a funnel in the tstat housing. The water kept sucking in and blowing back out. When it stopped I put the radiator cap on and turned the car off.

But the heater wasn't on and we didn't have a cool ass radiator funnel.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

So where do I find a cool ass funnel?

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Possibly the auto parts store. Or Ican get one from my mac guy ttoday for you if you want

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Tool guys sell them and i know they have them at most parts store usually for around $25 to $35.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Shawn's gonna borrow me his and I'm gonna buy one from his snap on guy next week.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

imho if u dont have one dont waste ur money. i andmany others have no problems getting the air out without a special funnel. but they are cool looking

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

It's not about the money it's about the mess. Ever since I used one at DB a few yrs ago I've wanted one. Thing works pretty slick.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

DSM cooling system is pretty straight forward, unlike some others. There really shouldn't be a need for said funnel. Did you use a new OEM Mitsu water pump on the rebuild? I had a car in once with this issue and I am trying to remember what it was. I want to say it was the wrong gasket on the water pump or something. It wasn't getting good coolant flow. 7 bolt head on a 6 bolt block not lining up coolant passages right? It was something like that.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

I have a 6 bolt head so should be no issues there. Gasket was new and water pump was just reused from my old motor. Only had 30k on it and looked fine.

Ill try and see if there's bubbles in the system then go from there.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Those funnels are the shit and was under $20 off the mac truck.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Have one they work good. But love the vac one better. It is just an adaptor for the radiator and hook up shop air. It pulls all the air out of the system in 30sec. I use it all the time on buses.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

So went out for a cruise with Shawn (his cars running) an Aaron. Got pulled over in FL for no front plate. Kinda funny cops like get your shit figured out and get a plate on it.

Anyways so my cooling issues are still there but we think we got it. Thanks to Aaron and a paper receipt we found out my fans are pulling in front of the radiator so really are not doing shit.

Gonna swap wire tomorrow and them possibly throw on switch if I have time.

Good to see Shawn's (4seasons69) car back on the rode and also the look on kids faces as we rolled past the forest lake beach parking lot. It was priceless.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Not going to lie I for sure thought I was he one going to get pulled over lol.

Hopefully rewiring the fans take care of your cooling issues! They should I want to see this thing make some passes soon!
