heres a run down on the car
b18c1
new water pump yes its working
no thermostat
duel single delslow rad
slim fan
fan wired to always run

i have a b18c1 in my ef that i boosted
i never had a problem with heat when i had my drag mani on but now with the
ram horn it gets hot very hot when i take the hood off i have no problems at all


what can i do to make it cooler under the hood

 

Fan shroud, also might want to put the thermostat back in to give the coolant some kind of hang up in the system allowing it to stay inside the radiator a little longer.

 

put the thermostat back in, u need some drag in the system to allow the radiator to extract the heat.

 

You should try to find a way to direct more air to your rad, especially since its off set like that. Also im not sure if this might help but you could try a pusher fan instead.

x2....and also..was the rad gangsta leaned like that before you changed manifolds?

 

how abvout useing some manifold heat wrap u can wrap the turbo too. who made the ramhorn?is that a engine damper on the driver side?

 

you could try...

thicker radiator
coat or wrap the manifold
smaller intercooler
vented hood

 

rad has been like that i put a stock fan on the front now and a slim on the back and im in the prosess of wraping it

 

and yse its a damper i made to fit

 

ummm... find a way to mount your rad correctly. that should be enough to fix it. wrapping things helps too.

EDIT: 500th post WOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

nice looking set-up!hows she run? and them ricer headlights got to go

 

lol EVERY ONE HATES MY LIGHTS


i only bought them cause the stock ones looked stoopid with blk and bronze


here do you like my ek better lol??????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????



the ef is a monster 332 hp stock block
13.2@115 street tires now i have the new mani and dp and 24inch slicks on lensos lol

and i just got my ross pistons and eagle rods

 

Nice fake mugen valve cover Put the thermostat back in, and who tuned your car?

 

Thicker aluminum radiator like a PWR, 10" Pusher fan, Lower temp thermostat, distilled water and water wetter

Those should make the biggest difference, You can also try using some stuff called "Engine Ice" as a coolant replacement. It's used in a lot of bikes that drive on the street or race, lots of friends I know have had great success with this stuff. Only problem is that it's kinda expensive....You should be able to pick it up from most Motorcycle shops just have to ask for it.

 

stoopid it was tuned on s300

thanxs for the props on the valve cover 150 is better than 800

 

Acutally, all of those coolant additives are more smoke and mirrors then they are anything else. I know for a FACT that both royal purples purple ice and Redlines water wetter don't reduce water temps significantly (5 degrees is nothing) and the reason it reads lower on the sensor is because it actually coats the sensor.

 

How many pounds are you runnin? Where do u usually run? ennis? and is stoopid in houston or is that stoney?? Props on the car though.. its nice to see clean, turbo efs

 

dude thats a ******* clean *** ek !!!!!!!!!
are them the jdm fog lights?

 

get the manifold ceramic coated.

or get a vented hood/raised hood.

you have no other choices


PS put back in the thermostat.

 

is the engine internal temp higher, or just under hood temps?

 

the car was tuned on 13psi but i run 16 at the track

therma is back in i havent had any cooling problems so far with 2 fans

i run in temple and ill be at ennis for import face off
