Hey guys, i just got my car running this weekend and am having trouble with the car getting hot and staying there. I know alot of you all have T6 setups with the crossover and downpipe very tight to the radiator hoses and water pump as is mine. My crossover is wrapped but havent wrapped the DP yet. What kind of temps are you seeing? Before w/ the BG CUSTOM TURBO kit and the 302, i never had a problem. Ran the same fan and radiator that im still using. Main diff is all the exhaust and a much bigger intercooler than i had previously.
i have a AFCO radiator, 160* Tstat, w/ 14 or 16" fan (cant remember) that I have on a switch, running straight water, standard rotation standard volume water pump. I ran the fan the whole time today and still got hot. I dont have a water temp gauge :doh: just the stocky and it got up to the "o" in NORMAL which i assume is pretty damn hot. Intercooler is a 31x12x4 which i know alot of setups on here are running. I ran the car with the cap off and waited to the tstat opened and water was flowing through the radiator and topped it off so i assume there arent any air pockets. Ive got this posted on TTF.com too.
Any suggestions??
thanks for your help
