#69954, "Cooling system"


          

Heres my current setup
1 PERMA-COOL 3000 CFM fan and my thermostat taken out, so the coolant cycles constantly.

This works surprisingly well, when im on the free way it stays really cold…But when im just idle, stop and go driving, or going thro a drive thru or something, it will slowly start to over heat….

What are my options for keeping a stable temp at idle…we thought about putting another fan in, on the other side, but it’s really crampt for space from the down pipe and the turbo…?

What else could I do to keep my temps stable at idle?

Put a thermostat in your car. You do not need to be running it that cold. Among other things it is going to screw up your fuel. Make sure you have the right amount of coolant/water mix. If your car runs cool on the highway, and hot when sitting, it sounds like a fan problem. Is your fan sealed well against the radiator, or is there a gap around the edges? Is the fan working properly?



Lets just say this... I'm over 100whp and soon to cross 200whp. Thanx 2GNT! Now if I could only learn to prove it.
