fix your lack of airflow into the radiator.

you sure the head gasket is good or the heads not lifting

i'll pressure check it tommorow? when i put intercooler in i tried to keep it low as possible.i can drive around all day and stay out of boost and it won't get hot, soon as i hit" wot"and start boost-n temp rises?

Re: runnin hot while in full boost
 

your radiator is BEHIND your intercooler, the only place the car gets air to the radiator is blocked by it. pop your hood latch but leave the hood latched.. see if it slows or stops or goes away

ok will do,

Re: runnin hot while in full boost
 

think i'ma vent my hood too release heat from engine bay right over turbo and manifold

Re: runnin hot while in full boost
 

id go gangsta og style and rock no hood ftw O0

Re: runnin hot while in full boost
 

Venting your hood? seriously? For typical setups that just sounds pointless as hell to do

Try settign the fan to run constant. Might not help at all since your ---- should be on while your driving around and ----.

Another note: is your fan pulling air from the radiator, or blowing air onto the radiator? If its ever been changed or rewired and the wires hooked up backwards, the fan will move air different. Correct way: fan should pull/suck hot air from the radiator.

I probably got a million other suggestions but they are either far to obvious to name or something is missing here.

Re: runnin hot while in full boost
 

you should have no need to raise your hood.

most of what complex said about airflow is regurgitated jd preach so I'd take heed of it.

you should also have no need to wire your fan on constant as a fan will not miraculously move more air than your car at whatever speed your car is under boost, unless you're somehow complaining about hitting boost while sitting at a stoplight where a fan is useful. Unless your rad is blocked again as mentioned above.

Check your ---- for mechanical problems:
blocked airflow,
headgasket issues,
pinhole coolant leaks (one of these fuckers had me searching for a month),
exhaust or downpipe/turbo just too damn close to your cooling system,
and lastly do you just have a shitty 'tune' aka basemap? (I think lean burns hot?, too advanced causes many bad things among them headgasket problems?, and I think too retarded also burns hot? .... someone with a clue about tuning chime in here, I'm just another hack with access to software, internets, and disposable honda blocks)

Re: runnin hot while in full boost
 

lean and extra retardation in timing causes a double hot. there's a reason new cars sound like v8 idle, heats the cats warmer faster.

Re: runnin hot while in full boost
 

yeah what are you using to tune this pile?

Re: runnin hot while in full boost
 

and here I thought jdsap, this is a whole new level. :3

Re: runnin hot while in full boost
 

So he should ride at WOT with his hood still latched but not closed down all the way?? Don't know if I'd push my luck with that ----...

Re: runnin hot while in full boost
 

it ended up being a headgasket. i know this nog. hopefully i can find my damn ostrich so we can get a good street tune on it friday.
