My car is heating up in Atlanta traffic. Built motor with turbo still running stock radiator with Black Magic 12" electric fan.
I need to upgrade obviously.
At first I was thinking bigger is better with radiator but recently I've heard that the 3 and 4 row radiators put more pressure on the water pumps. So should I stick with a 2 row aluminum radiator and upgrade the fan to a dual that covers the entire radiator? car runs on the open road at 193 and climbs to 204-205 before light turns green then drops back down. Climbing hills it also climbs up in temp quickly.
I currently run an aftermarket external transmission cooler with fan as well. As you can see in the pictures there's a lot going on at the front of the car, intercooler, MSD box, external transmission cooler in front of intercooler and of course the body kit.
Suggestions on fans, radiators? Kind of being over whelmed by the selection of parts available at Summit racing. Currently plan to swap out thermostat for a 160 this weekend.
Please spare me the jokes cause I know they are coming about how dirty the engine bay is >> (Eric@CoolCats) LOL Car has been through a lot these past 10 years and is finally being made show ready again. Paint and body work comes right after I get this heating issue resolved.
Warch my car live at prodyno.net. Got the bigger pump on it and should now do over 500rwhp i hope. With only 29lbs of fuel pressure i did 400rwhp and 457tq last time... Car is sitting on the dyno now
Well the car is running out of fas at 4500rpms... needs a bigger pump. I had 400hpbeen 457tq and 8lbs of boost... bigger pump goes on as soon as i get it home....
Been busy with work. Havent had the car in my garage but just a feww weeks over the last two years it seems...been going through motors faster than i can get them home...
About to pull into pro-dyno.net to have my car dyno tuned...watch it live on their website on thier ustream feed.... any bets on what this 347 with turbo will do?
