it could be the thermostate or water pump as well radiator could do with a flush to see but if it still heats up a bit id change the thermostate if that dont fix it you know it will be the water pump itself

Thinking I need to flush my radiator, but before I pull it out, is there something else that's likely to cause overheating? And if radiator flushing is the go, is there a way to DIY effectively, or should I take it to someone to get it ...

... going to run a small rx7 fmic at the front but then realised that you need to modify it. Wanted to do a bigger one but then you have to remove the radiator support, and i have to take it over the pits still. Too late now though got the rs intercooler and managed to find a good condition nice fitting ...

... is busted, was very hopeful that it was just the cable or the contacts but I have continuity at both ends. Started the car after replacing the radiator, ran fine but the temp gauge didn't move an inch (or even a mm). As I eluded to in another post, I'm mainly a motorbike person, so I'm a little ...

... you guys are awesome. I was expecting crickets and scoffing, instead I get encouragement! You bad influences you! I'm just finishing replacing the radiator which blew the top tank on NYE and turns out it is one of the few parts that ISN'T shared with Pulsar. Made a couple of small modifications ...

Strange, I have a single 10" fan pulling from the passengers side. I dont have any overheating issues using the stock ET radiator. Now, my stock guage goes right to 3/4 BEFORE the fan switches on. However, I know this is only 90deg.C via the coolant temp indication on the ECU diagnostics. ...

... about it... What amazes me most is that it was ever on the road. Anyway My next problem....LOL With where the engine sits... and putting in the ET radiator, Plus with a not so good downpipe (that touched the radiator in the donor) There is no or little room for a fan. So a while ago, I manages ...

... and square. Assuming you have used coolant and not plain water then the boiling point of the coolant will be above 100 deg.C UNpressurised. Most radiator caps are usually set to bleed off at or around 13psi and this elevates the boiling point of PLAIN water to 125 deg.C So if it had a half bad ...

... on the microtech when it was overheating, because my gut feeling is that it may have only reached 92-4, and it could have even been the old radiator cap that just allowed fluid into the overflow tank at that temperature and ultimately appeared like a problem when it wasn't. Yep that would ...

bit of a saga, but here goes. after fitting the repaired radiator and a new turbo equivalent to a high flowed t28 (up from a t28 with t25 backhousing), i took the car to return a radiator on the other side of the city. It didn't show any signs of overheating ...

I hate that!!!! (Oil everywhere....)

There have been a few different radiator installs.
I used a Honda Prelude (late 80's wedge shaped car) radiator in my GX for a long time.
I had to mod the top hose connection and fabricate lower brackets.

... greez martin Steer away from plastic tanked ally tube and fin radiators. Very inneficient for their size and prone to cracking. oracle Isn't the honda civic radiator that has been used in some ET's/Exas made of ...

Sooo... turn the bottom mounts upside down and re-drill the boltholes.... Thall drop the radiator near enough to 50mm or so. Sheesh! Bottom rad mounts are nothing more than a pissy bit of angle with a bloody hole in them and a rubber grommet right? Cmon M8, this is ...

Nope the actual height of the cores is greater than the radiator support

... european members: http://www.ebay.de/itm/KUHLER-MOTORKUHLUNG-Nissan-Sunny-II-N13-1-6i-NEU-/120797022012 :) im afraid it is difficult to move the radiator down. you would have to move it back a little, but then there is the turbo...? greez martin
