Hey Guys I'm looking for a General way of cooling our cars better. "yes another post of heat and how to get rid of it..." don't worry I've gone through the other posts and searches but still havn't found answers/solutions...
Here is the setup I have.
1) 2 Row alum Radiator (a 1 inch core and a 1/2 inch core) (cleaned 3 weeks ago)
2) new hoses (yes brand new)
3) 180* t-stat (new)
4) clean heater box (good flush, free flow from both directions)
5) richer Jet, more gas should mean less heat inside the head and more down the tail pipe????
6) new 50/50 mix with water wetter, no added water.
currently, I can watch my temp guage dance (maybe that just needs to be replaced?)
drive w/o a\c = at temp (half way)
drive w a\c low= (3/4)
drive w a\c mid = 100%
drive w a\c traffic = low it shows 7/8ths, high it goes up to 150% (yes past the guage) scary!!
My concern is when hotter, it rattles/pings sometimes, the second I hear it I back off and try to let it cool. this is a new engine so cool is important.
My question comes to this...
With A/C and in AZ could I run No t-stat with my mechanical fan?
Is that Dangerous?
What can it hurt?
Is there other way's of cooling the car to have it run no hotter than 190*? even in +110* degree weather with the A/C on? (without electric)
what do you guy's think?
edit: cleaned it up a bit, it hurt my head to read... and i wrote it!
