Well, it seems as soon as they get on their feet, they start falling down /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
#665 just came out of storage with a lot of maintenance done, as well as a couple mods (ETS intercooler, AFCO Scirocco style radiator)
Well, she's overheating under load /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
I have this fan (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FLX-365/) hooked up to the stock fan switch w/ resistor still in place. It keeps the temp normal during idle (based on in car gauge just left of center. Damn logger battery died so I need to charge it and reload all the software). Fan cycles on and off normally. However, once I start driving, especially under boost (duh) the temp just keeps creeping up. By the time I made it home from work today (about 28 miles) the needle was just hitting the red zone.
I'm about 90% sure there's no air in the system.
I'm running straight water right now, no ethelyn glycol added yet.
I have not made any baffling yet. Does this sound like poor airflow to the radiator?
I appreciate any advice. I'll keep working on it.
