15156, FMIC and radiator problems? Posted by SpoolinEclipse97, Feb-06-02 08:54 AM
with a FMIC blobking the entire front opening in our stock bumpers, has anyone has any problems with the radiator not getting enough air or the car running hot? if so, what did you do to remedy the problem? thanks.

mine runs just fine with the fmic. The only time it started to heat up was wheni was driving from cali to tx and i was in the middle of the az desert (i had been driving for hours and doing lots of boosting). It got hotter, but did'nt overheat.

no problems here. Just make sure your radiator is clean. The fans actually do most of the cooling anyway. So if your overheating flush the radiator, if your still overheating get new fans or radiator. Might wanna try some of that water wetter stuff too.

I would heat up under high boost runs last summer, ordered the fluidyne, had rre modify it to fit on the 420a, and damn, it floats to a set temp, and doesnt move form t here, not even under boost... plus water wetter is a good idea....

mine gets real hot, but I don't have the FMIC on yet. But when it is cold and raining, after I park you can see steam commning off of the hood. It may be because I took the fire blanket off from the underside of the hood????????????????????/
