RE: Z18ET Problems - help plz!!!

Nick,
 
I think that something is seriously wrong with the cooling system that a fan isn't going to fix. Above 60 kph a fan doesn't do much in the way of cooling so if it's running hot above that there is another reason for the overheating. Even with no fan a cooling system shouldn't boil as the pressure system should hold the temp until well over 100c even when stopped. From normal temp (82c) you should have 5 minutes or so at idle before you hit 100c on a cooling system in good shape. You should be able to fit a coupling fan off an A/Cond equipped L20B/Stanza/180B. The 120mm pulley model should just fit with a triple core, as it does on a L series.
 
I'd be checking all of the cooling related problem areas i.e. water pump, thermostat, head gasket, radiator & cap etc.
 
regards
Terry

Subject: Z18ET Problems - help plz!!!

Hey list, as with the inevitable with buying a car i am having teething problems. Biggest being over heating. Tappet problem - solved, Sticking throttle - solved, Mod plate - coming!

What can i do to help with my heating problems - the boost is set to 7psi and it has no i/c - one wil b plumbed in asap. But my problem being it looks as thought the radiator is screwed - looks to b a triple core, forget what type. What are my COST effective (sorry on a very tight budget and time limit to get it fixed so it can pass the mod plate) The engine is getting very very hot - like extremely, wen driving - ok - due to airflow - but as soon as it is stopped it just boils. There are NO form of fans in it at present. Can i VERY temporarily put a fan on ? ie a pulley driven fan ? i am limited to a 35mm space between radiator and fan mount. What can i do ?! Thermos and a new radiator wil b goin in soon. - Also what type of raditor and thermos can i put in ? Pulsar ? and what type - also approx cost ? 

All help greatly appreciated.
