Heat issues going with FI

SS_Firehawk

Disregard my question, I upgraded my cooling system. To the OP, at the most, a CSF and 34 row... At the very least? Get yourself a 34 row oil cooler and turn those fans on early. The GTM radiator is overkill if you aren't going to drive it hard.

I live in Tampa, the only problems I have ever had with heat is the A/c blowing warm in 90+ degrees in bumper to bumper traffic. I do not drive the car hard but do floor it from time to time. You cant get to silly with this much power on the street or your asking for trouble in its various forms.

I only have a 34 row oil cooler and I have never seen over 230 temps. Actually in 70 or below weather I have trouble even getting the car up to operating temps. I have to drive a gear lower than I should be to keep the car wound up a little more creating more heat.

I do not want to add in a chance for more leaks with a thermostat and have been to lazy to make a block off plate, but you will need one here when its chilly/cold out.

Besides, a radiator swap is quick and easy. Don't take my word for it, just see for yourself if you are ever able to get your water temps to climb. If you experience a climb during in your environment and driving style, swap it then

Definitely just some spirited driving through third gear. Will take a few trips down the quarter but that's it.

To add to what the others have mentioned, the oil cooler and heat wrap are the more effective cooling measures. As was stated earlier, someone posted that the CSF radiator won't work withe the GTM twin sc kit (I wouldn't know anything about that though).

I too have a 34 row oil cooler (non-thermostatic), a CSF radiator, and a plethora of heat wrap. For the record, I got tuned at UPREV (for the second time) and they added the fan control. I am also in Texas. Last one is the doosie..........I am running the Greddy TT Kit with oil cooled turbos and I don't have any issues with overheating. Take it for what it's worth.

If you oil overheats at low speeds and daily driving, then you're better off with an oil cooler fan.

That's wild... Never come across anything even close to that in both stop and go traffic and back to back highway pulls. There's no harm done in waiting to see if its needed, the install is pretty quick. I would say it depends on what you're looking at spending. Someone mentioned $2500 for a radiator and fans, that is pretty intense and definitely something I wouldn't consider jumping on. But the Koyo for like $400 I guess I would consider a "why not" mod if you're already spending a ton and some people have issue. But ya, my car doesn't even come close to what you're describing.

Now I do agree $2500 for fans and radiator is a pretty hefty price tag and is something I would hesitate to do,and would only do if really necessary.

I'm out logging with the Osiris right now to see if there's anything going on that I don't see with the stock gauge. But it's only like 82 maybe today.. Humid tho!

What's the best way to contact you? I just tried sending you a PM but your box is full. I want to talk to you about your twin pump setup I am running.

Sorry I keep forgetting to renew my sponsorship which allows like 500 times as many PMs and I never clear them.

My AC used to trip in stop and go traffic, but after the UPREV fan control mod..............not anymore. Back to back runs on the Dragon were not a problem either. If that isn't spirited driving, I don't know what is. There is no road course within an hour of my location or I would go run 3-5 hot laps and let you know what I am getting. But driving it like I stole it is the way it want's to be driven!

Charles:

I may need to look into your fuel system mods. I randomly loose fuel pressure (not enough to have to shut down) after long road trips or spirited sessions (I am talking hours). Should I email you, call, or shoot a PM?
