i did some searching here on tuners and correct me if im wrong, but ive discovered that the coolant temp on a 1g usually runs between 195 and 210. now heres the problem... i just got a jdm engine put in my car, and ive been driving it since last wednesday (the 9th) and today while i was sitting in my driveway checkin out some stuff on my datalogger i noticed that the coolant temp was steadily goin up, so i sat there and i watched it. it went from 196 to 223 in about 5-6 minutes. when it hit 223 i decided it was probably time to make it cool down so i revved up the engine a lil bit and held it at 2500rpm until the temp fell back to 197. now before you say "check all the cooling stuff like rad., t-stat, etc.," you should know that ALL of it is brand new (like "last week wednesday" new)... the only thing that isnt new is the coolant overflow bottle. However i noticed i was leaking coolant from one of the lines goin to the turbo, but i had that tightened down earlier today. anyone got any ideas what this can be?
Thanks
