Re: .:: Automatic to Manual swap ::.
Quick Question .. . ..
When i had my car automatic i would floor my car and start going fast on the freeway at about 100 mph..... well i would do that once or twice and i would notice that my effin car would start overheating.... the temperature would rise when i gave it alot of gas and start hitting 6000 rmp's . why is it that my car did that i replaced radiator hoses and purchased a koyo radiator and it would still keep on doing that, and my radiator fluid wouldnt last me longer than 2 weeks. isnt it supposed to last for months no matter if you floor the s.o.b or not ??

Sounds like you have a major leak, it should last longer then months. 
Are your cooling fans kicking on, hows the water pump, hows the head gasket(make sure your oil doesn't have antifreeze in it), check for leaks everywhere.

Re: .:: Automatic to Manual swap ::.
i checked for leaks but nothin..... i ran it before i started my conversion and found a small leak and tightened up the hose and thth kinda let my car run for a little bit more ... so i am going to put a new thermostat becaue the fan doesnt come on at high temp.... or water doesnt flow through ..... im hopin this fixes it cuz a manual conversion w/ overheating = dead ricer. lol.

Re: .:: Automatic to Manual swap ::.
fan doesn`t turn on has nothing to do with the t-stat. You should try to hard wire your fan, make sure it is working. check fuese. If it is the sensor (which is the cause at most case) replace the sensor that controls the fan, it is located on top of the t-stat housing. (should have taken it out from your junk car LOL)
make sure you are filling up ur radiator correctly. ur suppose to fill it up with the metal cap off, run engine with temp. setting at full heat, wait till all the air bubble popped out then cap it. make sure the metal cap is in good condition (rubber seal intact and the nipple hanging)

What the hell is a v-tak? You might want to get an engine flush and change that sensor it could be bad or just take it out and sand it off until its nice and coppery looking maybe it just has a lot of build up on it.
