K Swap running to hot

**GSi_PSi** · 17-12-2011 08:08 AM

Hey guys, my K20 swap is running hot and power is lacking. Usually takes about a good 30 mins of driving before it heats up, the temperature guage goes past half way, and sometimes when stationary goes right up but as soon as i start moving again it goes back down.. All the heat is coming into the cabin and its really annoying.
Some information.
K20 Swap, Koyo Half Size Aluminium Radiator, PRD ECU
Motor does not burn coolant. The top radiator pipe is sorta touching the intake which
is causing the hose to change shape by a little bit, dunno if that could have something to do with it.

1x Kswap crx owner helping another thats what u wanna see

good stuff.
As for the temp issues i can say im experiencing similar problems.

Do u have pics of your intake setup.
Surely you can re-route it.

I found when i got the Mugen thermo stat it didnt work but yet when i ran the stock thermostat it did.
I still think i need to get my entire setup rewired properly .

hey guys i went to gpc at yennora and showed charlie, he said my fan was way too small for my radiator and since then just finished installing a larger size slim fan, took it for a long test run and the car is running much cooler now, it didnt even go past half way yet.. hopefully stays like this...
