.... stop your RST's from overheating?? most of you must have this problem, so what do you do with them in this sort of weather.

 

Shame the search button doesnt work as theres loads of topics on this.


Mines fine in this weather......

Bonnet lifters
2 kenlow fans on alloy Rad
Cossie fan switch
And 82 thermostat

 

as above,

also heatwrapped downpipe
water wetter in coolant
cut-out front bumper (if u like it)

 

as above, 2 fans, 82deg stat, does not go over half, maybe a bit if stood for long time

 

82 degree thermostat,cossie fan switch,2 cpu case cooling fans,no probs

 

Also same as above but would also advise to rig a switch inside your motor so you can control your fans to run when driving in hot weather or sitting in traffic, just for peace on mind!

 

mines totally fine on std cooling.
~14/15 psi

 

Fan over-ride switch inside the car.

 

where do you get a 82degree thermostat and whats the cossie fan switch for

 

i just fit an alloy rad , and im still running on the O .

i have one fan and a grs intercooler blocking the damn rad , so i too would like to know where to locate an 82 deg thermo ???

 

Christian @ APT can sort you out. Contact details in my sig

 

alloy twin core rad, 82 degree thermostat and a manual fan override switch just in case

 

I never have any problems with over heating on my car

Temp never goes above half

 

So whats your sectret T28 RST??

 

As above, whats the crack with the cossie fan switch ?!

 

The cossie fan switch cuts the fans in earlier, and the 82 degree thermostat i cant see how much difference that will make,
AFAIK all it will do is alow the water to circulate ealier from cold, so will warm up quicker. Once upto temperature the stat will stay open so no longer of use.

 

82degree thermostat, cossie fan switch, manual fan overrride switch etc. all just delay the overheating. They don't improve the cooling one bit. I would also like to know actual solutions to the problem. With my GRS the temps sometimes climb close to the red area. In extream cases I just open the sunroof, turn the interior fan to max and turn up max heat. That will avoid the overheating of hte engine, but it will overheat the driver instead.

 

I finr my fan's stay on 80% of the time its a pain in the ass

Water gets up to temp and then thats it,there on! I fitted a 82degree stat when i fitted my GRS.What the cossie fans switch then?Where does it go?

 

im just going to get a nother fan , and a switch, i already have an ally rad , they aint all that if you have a grs blocking them off as i have discovereed

 

The secret is my intercooler doesnt cover my radiator, the needle never goes above the temp gauge in traffic and sits at 1/3rd up the gauge when moving.

I have an over ride switch for the fan inside incase im stuck in traffic for a LONG time but i never need to use it

My intercooler:

 

i have just wired in a switch my fan, and totally removed the option to have it work on its own , now its up to me when my fan comes on, i reckon i might have to get another fan , but for the time being im well happy.

 

No problems with mine. completley standard cooling

 

unless you have a full front mount intercooler you should have no problems at all in any weather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
