After i installed my turbo in may, the car started to over heat and my car has "hyper blinkers" lol. although these things may seem unrelated i think they are.

first, i replaced the radiator and it still overheats, now im thinking its either the thermostat or the fan switch, fan switch because the hyper blinkers started (blown fuse under hood, right?) which may also mean i blew the fan relay fuse.

When the car warms, and its tiem for the fans to come on, should there be a little noise comming from the passenger side of the bay?

Also, if the upper radiator hose gets warm (this is after about 15 minutes of idling) and the lower stays the same, that's the waterpump, or is that the thermostat?

Do you fans kick on?

do you have bubbles or over flowing radiator bottle?

Is it overheating at idle? On the freeway?

Smoke from exhaust?

 

i had the same problem. mine was bubbles and over flowing radiator bottle.
what could it be. it only happened the first time i got on it after the turbo install. haven't driven it again to see if it will do it again. my fan does come on though.

My car can be driven for about 45 minutes, boosted every 10 or 15 minutes and it wont overheat (this is in the middle of the day). But after that ~45 minutes, when i stop at a light and sit there for about 20 seconds or so, then take off, it'll overheat.

There is no smoke of any color coming from the engine bay or exhaust.

the fans kick on, im just not sure when. I know that when i was bleeding the coolany again this afternoon, after about 10 minutes of idling, i heard a click/motor noise near the battery but the fans didn't come on... is that the relay?
