A few issues i dont like are the fact that you have nothing protecting your radiator hose from getting really hot and busting. You should upgrade to a lower thermostat. put your manifold heat shield back on. Your radiator is getting heat soaked from your turbo and manifold. Gotta do something about it. I think you should get your DP jet coated. IT will prolong it plus lower your under hood temps. Change out your radiator fluid. Get a antifreeze bottle and fill about a 1/3 of it with antifreeze and the rest distilled water. Add a complete bottle of redline water wetter to the bottle before pouring it into your radiator. Take out the 5mph bump stop between your front bumper and bumper cover. That should help with some airflow. Take off the weather stripping on the rear of your engine bay. THis allows about a 1/4 of space between the hood and the engine bay so heat can excape out the rear. After looking at it where are your radiator fans?

I have one trimline fan and I'm gonna install 2 10" pusher fans in front. I'm thinking of the greddy radiator hoses and I've been searching for a lower thermostat. Do you have a Number for one? Thanks for any help

greg has the number. You should wrap your hose with some header wrap asap. Install those fans now or kiss your car goodbye

As long as he's not overheating big time he will be fine. The cast pistons are much more resistant to heat than forged pistons are. Todd had already purchased a fan but it ended up being too big. He's taking care of it.

I have regular header wrap from summit I can use. I don't drive the car a lot but I noticed it gets hot in stop and go situations. I want to install a boost cooler to see if that helps since I have no intercooler. I ran against a cobalt tonight and I noticed the temp going up so I backed off quick. I should have my new fans by the middle of the week. I need to talk to greg about wiring them up.

If you have a lower thermostat number maybe you can hook me up. Oh I never got down to pick up my cover and stuff. Maybe we can meet up tomorrow. For some reason it heated up past the halfway mark tonight and it was the first time running it hard tonight.

How far above the 1/2 way mark? 1/2 way is normal. You really need a logger Todd so you can watch actual values. The gauge will stay in the same place even with 30 degree temperature fluctuations.

I honestly don't have a lower thermostat number to give you or I would.

I got one. Has only 2-3 month of use. I changed everything when I redid the heads. I tested the new 82 degree (Celsius) with the old one in a pot of water and they both reacted the same. So it is yours Todd if you want it.

Nice job on your car. I've enjoy this thread... wish I check it out sooner, but I've been so out of touch with the forums as of late.

I think Todd is being smart about it: low boost until the bottom is built up. Tomorrow is supposed to be hot here, so I'm a little concerned about his overheating and lean issues.

I didn't need one. It was just a bad connection. On that note I just bought a sony Vaio so all I need now is the Evoscan from Greg.

I just installed all my wideband info plus I downloaded the EvoScan and bought the cable. Now I need to hook up with Repforenzo (Phil) and maybe I can get my car to act up.

I found one of rulez old post and found a 170 degree thermostat. I'm getting ready to go pick one up. I'm still waiting on my fans which should have been here already but today isn't over yet. My heat shields are dry and ready to be put back on and my down pipe is wrapped (that was a bitch to do on the car). Of course my car acted up again today and I haven't recieved my cable yet. I'm hoping it doesn't have anything to do with my secondary injectors. Come one Cable!!

The 170 should be OK. But keep this in mind: the car is designed to run at a specific temperature. If it runs too cool, you'll start to build up carbon. The heat from the turbo and the back pressure will help you in your case. I think you would have been fine with the 180.

Ok, I'll just have to get that one from you if you still have it. I'll give you a call some time tomorrow to see what your plans are. Can't wait to get my cable so I can start datalogging it. I hook up my labtop to my wideband to check it out and it seems pretty easy to use.

I met up with Phil and got the lower thermostat he had and got it put in. Thanks to him I'm running about 10 to 13 degrees cooler. I data logged some runs after I put in the lower thermostat and compared them to some runs from yesterday and I'm staying around 200-203 now compared to 210-214 at times. I also checked my knock count on the graph and my highest count was 8, thats if I'm reading it right.

I forgot to mention I installed a greddy oil catch can and sanded off the bullshit high temp paint that didn't work and pretty much polished it a little here some new pics. If you look to the left of the intake manifold you'll see the catch can mounted to the firewall
