Pls need help I am having overheting problem in my B20 VTEC turbo the car in doing 450 whp when i do 3 past and the car start to over heat I buy aluminim raidator , FAL fan and the car temp go up to 228 F do I need a oil cooler to fix the proble the engine have datron sleve not the mid kit and a block gard and is bore 84.5

 

headgasket?
thermostat
there are alot of 2 liter cars that dont overheat and dont run oil coolers.

 

my friend having the same problem he bought a oil cooler it did almost nothing except make him have to buy 2 more quarts of oil. it was a good cooler too.

he fixed the temp problem by re routing the water lines to the turbo dinnit touch the oil lines, we tapped directly in to his raidator i guees it circulated water easier . im sure some 1 here can help u out

what turbo and how do you have your lines routed?

only when you go in to boost?

 

???

 

Is 228 ur coolant or oil temperature

Im confused as the title states oil cooler, but your post only gives info on the radiator and fan

 

Ya, why a block guard on a sleeved block?

 

Because an aluminum ring is stronger than a ductile iron sleeve...?

Most oils are okay going up to 250F for short periods (small loss in protection), so 228F is okay. An non-oem cooler may cause some loss in pressure, which may be worse. An oem cooler will help cool it to optimal temps, as well as heat it up faster so you can beat on the motor sooner.

If that 228 F is your coolant temp, then you need a shroud between your radiator & fan, or completely wrap your manifold & downpipe in thermal wrap. Nothing else besides mounting the radiator above the hood will help.

 

I will wrap the down pipe to see if the problems it fix. only hapen on boost and the themperature onther the hood is realy hot

 

post pictures of the setup. sounds like airflow issue, what radiator are you running? what chassis is this in. probably air bound cooling system too. darton mids and or a block with block guard in it has a harder time getting the air out of the system. takes a while to bleed it and get it right

 

I dunno if this guy is talking about oil or water temp after reading the post a few times lol
