Ideas to get car to run cooler??
Ok i cant get my ---- to not over heat at all!! WTF!! Just crusin around town it wants to overheat like crazy and if i race i absolutly have to keep the heater on HI just to not overheat. What could i do to maybe improve it? I have a 1 inch core stock replacement radiator about a month old. Just replaced my thrermostat with a 170degree one, im running redline water wetter in it, and one of those 12 inch hi power slim fans always on while the car is running. WHY THE ---- DOES IT OVER HEAT STILL! The temp out here in cali right now its over 100 degrees everyday but i dont understad why it would still do that if im just crusing. Or maybe just because the intercooler is blocking off most of it?? Any ideas?

Yeah I got a pretty good idea what it could be. If you have an accord, Stock accord radiators are shitty. they like to get a hairline crack right accross the front of them that you can't see becuase the core support blocks it from view. when the cars cool it won't leak at all but when it warms up pressure will push the crack open and vent small amounts of steam out the front of the radiator. you won't even be able to notice it. If I were a betting man I'd say thats it.
Could be your timing is just wicked crazy retarded to.

Re: Ideas to get car to run cooler??
fans is setup to suck air threw the raidiator maybe i should set it up to push it threw and move the fan to the front? O and i doubt i have a blown head gasket im not smoking or burning water or anything. Radiator is brand new. Im just thinking it could be that its just too damn hott out here.
O and my timming being too retarted could cause it to overheat??
