109733, heat soak solution? (kind of long)
Posted by TurbchargdSpydr, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Hello everyone, so I'm encountering a heat soak issue and it's affecting my radiator. I will start my car and drive with no issues. If I boost even once during a long trip, my coolant temps will start to climb. After installing my turbo kit this last month, I had purchased and installed a 3 row aluminum half radiator and the car overheated right away. I ended up removing it and installed my stock one. It works well but when I boost, my engine bay gets super hot (to the point where my tial wastegate is no longer bright red). The loom around my fan wiring started melting. My radiator support is burning and of course my radiator is hot. I was wondering whether removing the t-stat will remedy this issue? Anyone try water squirters? Anyone ever construct a contraption that vents oncoming air into the engine bay via vents piping ect? Extra fans help (I only have 1 slim ebay fan but highly doubt my engine bay heat will cool with even 10 fans lol)? Any help would be much appreciated!
