Re: Update on the Car progress - (joining Jet)

Not sure how other then continiously driving. I have a fluidyne Radiator and 2x1000CFM Fans already. I'm using 90% Water and 10% coolant. Everything is brand new. But it's this damn heat down here. Heat index today was 105.

Temps stayed under 200 when we were actually driving wasn't till I continiously hit every Light and Traffic on the way home that it went up. But I will say the under hood temps are just rediculious like always. I already removed the rubber rain guard when I was still in MN to help battle the high temp issues I was having, (normal driving temp was 216 and 220 when on boost) Only thing that helped was when I lowered the thermostat. Then it just stayed in continious loop.

Also I always have 1 Fan on at all times. the 2nd fan turns on when I push the A/C button. When the temps get over 220 I turn the 2nd fan on and the temps come down.

I'll check the coolant level tomorrow the motor originally on warm up used a lot of coolant from the overflow bottle, I refilled it up and on the 1st and 2nd trip it didn't move at all. man does that radiator stay hot though. I went out an hour or so later and it was still hot to the touch. But then again even though it's 10:30 it's still in the upper 80's here. And humid as hell. (you just drip with sweat as soon as you open that door)
