Does it get hotter when you get into boost or is it always hot? I would absolutely change your headgasket before doing the radiator. Buschur has ARPs, but they are usually cheaper through Summit. And Jerrome, that is bullshit. My car was overheating quite badly before I put in the Fluidyne. I changed nothing at all but adding the Fluidyne and now the car barely stays warm enough even under boost and highway driving to keep the damn thermostat open. The temp gauge used to sit just to the right of the middle before the radiator, and now it never even gets to the middle of the gauge. Saying that there is absolutely no proof at all that a fluidyne helps overheating issues is just a plain lie. I have personal experience with that one.



Helps and fixing are two different things. Why is helped you solved your issue can be because of a number of reasons. But you cannot say it will fix a overheating issue. There are those who have that radiator and many other aluminum radiators and still over heat.

There are to many variables. In order to prove this theory, a test will need to be conducted where ALL conditions are kept the same and stock radiator must be in perfect working order in order to exclude any other variables in that conclusion. No such test has ever been conducted to my knowledge so there is now you can make a statement that a fluidyne will "fix" overheating issues. But yes, it will help with stopping the car from overheating in most cases.


Edit: For Flyin, Try using a 80% Water and 20% Antifreeze mix and add a second slim fan. In DSMLink, you will need to add a positive value to the coolant offset variable box in order to turn the fans on early. If you do a search on the DSMLink forum, it will give you a definitive desciption.
