whats your turbo cooling setup? thermostat? oem rad? fans? i have an oem rad and fan and no thermostat and she overheats something terrible while im in boost. when she cools down and i open the cap all the fluid is still level. maybe a aftermarket rad and fan will do?

 

no thermostat is a big issue. I heard running one of those would actually help.

 

why arent you using a thermostat?

 

OEM thermostat, aluminum radiator, radiator shroud and SPAL 12" fan.

 

all oem cooling system besides a ebay short aluminum radiator never had any problems with cooling.

 

Fluidyne half radiator, spal 12", meziere water pump,
gutted thermostat on water w/ water wetter.

 

Custom Rcautoworks radiatorSpal 12in replacing low temp thermo with an oem. With no thermo though while on the dyno even under load the temps didnt even get to 200*with the fan cutting on at around 188*.

 

when I had the thermostat she was overheating all the time...is anyone using that red stuffthat keeps the motor 20 percent cooler...redline or somethin like that...

 

thats water wetter, and I have used it. Seems to improve things, however, if you have a major cooling problem it is not going to be a big enough bandage for that.

 

its over heating for a reason , check your rad to make sure fluid is flowing good under acceleration. ive boosted up to 500hp and never had a over heating problem.. and i was using a stock cooling system.

 

20% good luck

fix the damn problem and do what all of us do. regular fluid.
im on all stock cooling setup even stock 150k mile radiator
it gets hot but needle never passes 40% even with my shitty ebay slim fan

 

ok i found the problem i think....i changed the cap last month....last week when the car overheated on me i took the cap off and let the **** shoot out the rad....and guess what comes flying out...the rubber piece from the old cap...so im guessing that was the problem....it hasnt overheated since then

 

mishi thermo and fanswitch,fal fan and shroud,does water wetter work,car doesnt overheat but id like to take all the options in

 

oreillys thermostat, stock radiator, mishimoto fan, no issues yet! however next year itll be

mishimoto triple core radiator
spal fan
custom shroud (if needed)
fan switch
rad hoses (either braided, or skunk2)

 

Dual core DA radiator
Spal 12" and Zirgo 12" slim fan
Mishimoto 80° fan switch
low temp thermostat
Water Wetter

 

are you trying to do highway 5th gear pulls? you say it over heats while in boost.. how long are u staying in boost for?

my car gets hot after a 1/4 mile pass, but when i drive the car on the streets i dont go ripping around in boost and ive never had an overheating issue with a stock rad and fan.

 

yea all i do is 5th gear....its on a basemap...

 

haha nice.

there you go!

 

OEM Civic Si dual core half width radiator, OEM thermostat, a 10" slimline fan and no cooling issues to speak of...

 

Sounds like you needed a new thermostat.

Oh yeah, and...

Mishimoto dual core half radiator
1.3 bar radiator cap
OEM thermostat
13 inch Spal fan
Custom fan shroud

 

i was getting it street tuned and **** started smoking out the valve cover so we stopped the tune and just put it on a basemap. so all i get to feel is 5th gear...

 

i tune in 3rd gear. i cant imagine how fast a car would be going topping out 5th gear. thats just insane.

 

topping out 4th at 135 feels way unsafe in a honda lol

 

If your still having issues maybe try the neukin radiator/fan/shroud with our slim fan. Its probably the best unit you can get out there.

-Neukin dual Core Radiator
-1000CFM slimfan.com fan
-Shroud with quick connect pins
-Slim fan from us with oem plug! a first ever! Just plugs in no wiring.

Only $250

 

Full size aluminum rad, 12" slim pulled, 10" slim pusher, no intercooler blocking airflow. (a2w) 160 tsat, straight water with wetter water. Never gets over 170. The manifold is also coated, and the turbine housing has a blanket, as well as a wrapped downpipe I plan to switch over to an electric waterpump during the offseason.
