Overheat question

Stangdude27 · 08-14-2005, 05:36 PM

I was driving today and checked the coolant temp while driving and it read 210 degrees. My 3-core intercooler seems like it is the problem. I think I might not be pushing enough air across my radiator. Sincs the procharger AA intercooler is installed directly infront of the rad.with no distance between the intercooler and rad is this the problem or is the thermostat done? Anyway any ideas would be great.

I went ahead and changed the thermostat to a 160 degree. Works fine car gets to about 190 and stays there. Also got some belt dressing for the belt. Car works alot better. Guess they should lose the power adder thread.

I figure I'll try cecil this wednesday. Hopefully cooler temps and DR's I'll be in the 12's hopefully mid 12's to lower 12's. 13.1 @ 106.55 and eng temp @ 210 I think with the temp down to 180 I'll be in. Stanger00 thanks dude
