24 views and no help?

 

what are you using for tuning ?
did you try using the thermostat ?
do you know your AFR's an/or EGT's ?

 

hondata s300
yes had thermostat same thing
AFR's are good just got it dynoed.

thanks for the reply

 

do you have a picture of the set-up ? your rad may need to be further away from the turbine

 

 

head gasket leak

 

Agreed........head gasket.......if your resavor bubbles b4 it overheats then you have hg problem......and you should put the thermostat back on.......the coolant is not absorbing heat if the water keeps flowing......

 

new headgasket new arp head studs

 

it bubbles only at very hot temps. thanks for the input. this is really triping me out

 

When it goes up does it go up gradually, or get to a cretin point and shoot up?

 

put some fluorsence(sp) dye in your coolant and check for leaks

 

Search the overheating threads. They are a plenty! This is what you will find, add a block off plate to re driect air flow to the rad, Get a shrouded fan, make sure fan is blowing in correct direction, add a thermostst, add water wetter, bleed coolant properly.

 

it goes up gradually....

thanks mr.death ill check it out

 

you need some heat shielding... that turbo and dp right next to your radiator get really hot and radiate a lot of heat...

 

problem solved it was a cloged rad...


thanks for the help^^^^^^
