2012+ Coolant System/Overheating

Spooler · 07-23-2017, 12:48 PM

Noop, I would do one thing at a time. Sitting idleing with a turbo car is just asking for overheating issues in hot climates. Your fans should kick up to high speed.

I understand. On that note, here's a link to the video I uploaded to my Google Drive of the gurgling I hear. Didn't do YouTube after all since it was easier to upload it this way instead. Hopefully it's playable by now, it was for me on my laptop but not on my phone.

Yeap, that is the coolant boiling in the lines from the turbo. Normal on a hot day.

Perfect! Thanks for confirming!

What dilution mix are you running? I doubt there's anything restricting airflow through your coolers, but might be worth checking. I agree with Spooler that your fans duty cycle should be on a higher rate than normal with being in hot temps and boosted.

BTW..is this GeauxTigers1 old car?

I'm running the OEM Nissan blue coolant! Yeah definitely worth checking, will try later today to confirm. I'm assuming the fan cycle is related to EcuTek tune so I'll probably try to reach out with the tuner again, haven't had success yet unfortunately so I'll probably go through F.I.

After looking at the GeauxTigers1's profile and posts, yes this is his previous car. Lots of love and work was put into this car and I definitely have a lot of shoes to fill looking at all his posts and experiences with this car. Definitely fortunate and humbled with this opportunity! That's why I'm so surprised about the overheating. I guess there's another Z owner around in AZ running a similar setup with stock radiator and having no issues.
