over heating issue (40th 370z GTM TT KIT)

advan37 · 05-15-2011, 05:37 PM

Over heating and AC issues has long story with almost all Nissan motors , specially in gulf , i think you did everything could be possible with this.
usually Nissan stock engine need air come through to perform well , imagine how it will be with boost.
My advice to you , add more cold Air ducts in hood , front bumper (if you can see under hood almost no space for the engine to breath) . Add performance thermostat . You said that 2 Oil cooler been installed in car already , where you mount them and specs plz.

Always keep distance in traffic to avoid at least the hot air from other cars and don't Push the car hard in this extremely hot weather.

Last thing try to reduce driving your car in hot climate.

stillen front fascia is on the way soon , and a CSF radiator , actually the problem is not bad its just when the car goes into traffic inbetween 12 to 4 pm , but still that is not acceptable , i will not accept defeat and i will win this battle with this issue and get more TT370Z's in the GULF to be daily driven anytime anyday either slow or beatin the hell out of it , i trust this kit that is on the car cuz it is the best kit in the world and second of all i trust the guy that put the car togather and installed it and i doubt anyone is as good as him amazing prices and amazing finishes ------- > JASON

so plan number one..
1- get rid of MESHIMOTO THERMOSTAT and see if the problem occurs, if it is still happening then..
plan number 2-CSF Radiator with distilled water and stillen front fascia and move the oil coolers to the open ducts although i know the issue is not the oil temps cuz they never ever ever ever ever go above 220 even if i was beatin the hell out of it in 120f degree weather.... if the problem still happen
then..
plan number 3-get upgraded fans and try to make the hood open a bit from the sides while closed , i used do this trick in turbo civic's , not sure it will work with the 370z, so i can get more hot air out of the engine bay , if the problem still happen's then..

i wont give up and still have faith to find the solution .

Thank you for the kind words !!

I agree get the t-stat out of there. I also contacted osrius about fan temp activation and why they dont give a option to turn the fans on sooner, as this may be an option for you, to have the fans turn on with a separate system and eliminate the ecu for activation. As for moving the oil coolers i like the idea as the oil temp being cooler will help out the engine temps as well. On the next set of cars for you , i will tackle this issue for sure

it will for sure maybe help out when we move the coolets but again jason ! the oil temps are very low as i said when the issue is happening so am sure its something in the cooling area not oil issues , but as might as well get the full benefit of the bumper ha ! actually i was speaking to our friend yesterday and i told him right now all the projects are on pause cuz i cant build and send more til i resolve this issue my reputation is attach to this issue , if i cant fix this issue my hole project will fail and then i really cant protect the idea that this turbokit on this car takes the middle east heat , and specially kuwait , ppl are fun with it in dubai cuz its totally different there , very colder but more humid , we have the killer dry heat , if u put an egg on the pavement it will be boil in 1 min

but as i said i trust this kit and you so i will do everythin in my power to make it burn rubber in the hot roads specially in the hottest time of the day

without facing any problems
