2012+ Coolant System/Overheating

PogiFlip · 08-01-2017, 07:48 AM

Also, I wanted to add. It seems there's a thread in the for sale section where one owner had some experience with the HPI radiator. May have some useful info as I saw some recent people requesting experience with this radiator and no luck. Maybe he would be willing to provide input. Here: FEELER: HPI Rescue Evolve Radiator

That sale thread helps, guess factory is all we have. Will have to optimize airflow as was stated by FI and Specialty Z.

CRAP!!!

Not sure if this was mentions as I just skim read through this post and did not see it but I believe the stock z radiator cap is about 14psi (Just going from memory and would have to actually check) which is pretty typical for NA but is a little low to what I normally see for stock turbo cars it's more typical to see 18-20ish psi. This raises the boiling point of the system. The risk becomes wether or not the stock z cooling system can take the extra pressure.

Just something to think about if not already mentioned or done.
