JUST FITTED MY FULLY REBUILT ZVH LUMP ACCRALITE PISTONS,STAGE 3 HEAD,STAGE 2 TURBO,PIPER CAM,FULLY LIGHTENED AND BALANCED BOTTOM END,PRO ALLOY FRONT MOUNT COOLER WITH TWIN FANS

THE PROBLEM WHEN SAT IN TRAFFIC OR TICKING OVER THE TEMP GAUGE GOES STRAIGHT TO THE RED FITTED A 2WD COSWORTH FAN SWITCH AND A 82DEG STAT AND BLED THE SYSTEM GOT HOT AIR INSIDE THE CAR.AS SOON AS DRIVEING THE GAUGE DROP TO BELOW 1/4.

IVE BRIDGED THE FAN SWITCH ACROSS 4 NOW SO THEY RUN ALL THE TIME ANY IDEARS IM SCARED IN CASE IT OVER HEATS

 

First I would get a proper water temp guage as the Ford one is crap.

If still really too hot I would be inclined to look to the rad. Have you tried raising the back edge of the bonnet? This can help drop under bonnet temps.

 

ITS A BRAND NEW RADIATOR JUST DONT LIKE THE WAY THE GAUGE CLIMBES WHEN YA TICKING OVER OR SAT IN TRAFFIC

 

Mine climbs when in traffic as well mate. Don't think it helps having an intercooler blocking the rad off

 

OK SUPOSE EVERY1 WITH FRONT MOUNT COOLERS HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WILL BUY A WATER TEMP GAUGE AND GO FROM THERE

 

i got a bloody great alloy rad with adjustable kenlowe fan you can set it to cut in when ever you want very
