I have the precision 600hp intercooler on my eg. The problem is the intercooler sits tall, and I am not getting air to my radiator. My car is over heating. what can i do? i might have to get a fludyine, i have a relay connected already so my fan stays on while the car is on. thanks

 

what kind do you have now?

 

stock

 

The intercooler is not the problem. It flows air through it (or it should). If the addition of a intercooler causes your car to overheat, you have other issues in the cooling system that need to be checked out. Check the thermostat, coolant temp fan switch, and the flow of your radiator itself. I'm running a stock 150k mile single core VX radiator with a B16 and a front mount and have no problems at all.

 

i am pretty sure it has to do with my intercooler blocking air to my radaitor when the turbo was not on my car it never overheated. I had to get a slim fan to replace my stock fan since then its been overheating. Turbo has been on for 3 days.

 

IS th slim fan actually on the radiator or a space in between it?

Your missing the point. The intercooler doesn't block the air, it just restricts the flow slightly. You have another problem if the little loss of airflow is causing your car to overheat. You have the large IC which means you removed the bumper support. That means your getting more flow since the support completly blocks the flow. Think of every car running a a/c condensor in front of the radiator, do they overheat? Same concept. There are tons of people on here with intercoolers in front of their radiaitors so that is not the problem.

I'm willing to bet you may have your fan hooked up backwards though..

 

its on the radiator

 

DO a search on a either PWR or C&R radiators. I remember one of the employees from C&R going into a pretty nice writeup and cooling characteristics of radiators in turbo cars where the intercooler is in front of it.
Great post! Made me decide on the purchase of the C&R.

 

there are tons of poeple with intercoolers that block the bumper opening completely and DONT have overheating issues (like me).

I'm also using the stock EG Rad on a B18C

I'd look elsewhere.

EDIT: wow i repeated someone
