Trickflow top end etc. I just ordered a Mishimoto radiator in hopes to make my car run cooler. I'm still using a stock replacement, and I know thats not up to par for a HCI car. What kinda water temps do you guys see? I'll see 210-220 easy, and on the highway it got up to 230 but it was like 97 degrees out and my air deflector came off, so that doesn't help. Fans work, tstat works, hoses are new, I already did a coolant flush, new water pump etc. Normal for these HCI cars to run hotter? I'd like to drop the temp to like 200 if possible. The cars temp does cool down like it should, but 215-230 seems scary to me.
mine could get up to the 220 range but 225 was the very most and normally only for short bursts. The air dam is VERY important on these cars as you said, what thermostat are you running?
If I remember right its a 180 tstat. When I get the new radiator I'll swap a new 180 in, cheap enough.
It should be the coolest when highway driving.. Mine only use to get hot in traffic it be 220-225 Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk
Make sure if you do replace it to get a16lbs one. I replaced mine once and it was higher.. Heater. Core couldn't handle it Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk
I believe he did, I forgot though. Last night it was around 75 to 80 and the car got up to 190 tops. Today it was closer to 90 and after over an hour of stop and go traffic it got up to 220.
No sir. Despise them, would never use em lol. Last thing I want is to add more strain to the accessories.
I didn't mean to sound like an ass, that's just how I feel about them. I put on a regular Ford replacement water pump.
