    Overheating ONLY on freeway

    I added a front carbon fiber vent to get more air to the radiator (fmic blocks the bottom opening) got a lower temp 180 thermostat and I placed duct tape to seal the side gap between my mishimoto slim fans and the oem radiator and (*knock* on wood) the temp gauge hasn't gone past the middle...

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    The front opening for the fmic looks larger than normal. I was just wondering if you trimmed it to get more air.

    Aftermarket cooling fans ?

    So I had a new thermostat but in, but the two mishimoto slinking fans: only the one on the passé get side turns on for cooling. The one on the driver side only turns on (now both pulling air though) when really bad, by which point it is usually too late or slightly overheating.Anyone know a...

    Aftermarket cooling fans ?

    So I had the fans fixed and rewired so both pulling air through the radiator now. So instead of pulling air from the burning hot exhaust manifold towards the radiator, the air is pulled from outside the bay and blows towards the manifold.Also I had the coolant flushed and replaced, added...

    Aftermarket cooling fans ?

    Hey thanks for the quick response and tips. Do you run both fans as pulling? How many other people do vs one fan push one fan pull?Have you pulled the seal yet? I ask as I live in Boston so part if me would be worried about water and snow getting in there.

    Aftermarket cooling fans ?

    Hi I searched and checked under FAQ but couldn't find an answer.I bought some mishimoto slim line aftermarket fans. I have a EVO III 16g and the top heat shield over exhaust manifold.1st question: push pull combo is best, but right now the fan is pushing air towards the radiator so pulling...

    *sigh* Evo owners fail....

    Well cheap stigma aside, the Evolution is holding value and has proven to be reliable and a top performer at any price.Sometimes you do have to "pay to play". If you don't like the price, don't buy it. But if you don't find it at the price you like, the market might be higher than what you...

    Would you use recycled oil?

    :hmm::toobad:If I owned a 20 year old Corolla, perhaps a maybe. But in a performance engine that runs warm, and boost? Not a chance. FUll synthethic (new) all day everyday. :hellyeah::thumb:

    97 GSX dsmlink auto: basics and psi levels-HELP

    Where does link say 330? It may be near that (crank is probably over 300,) but with the automatic and AWD drivetrain loss, 220whp seems like it is on par, correct? I ordered it from DSMLINK directly for an automatic GSX. How does one go about changing it from the '5 spd setup' to an automatic...

    Automatic AWD Guys

    I have the IPT transmission and high stall converter.I also have dsmlink v3 lite, and a td05 evo III turbo. The car builds full boost by 3600-3800 rpms.It as taken near a year on the work but it has come along.Don't cut corners: you will cost yourself more money and downtime in the longrun.

    Would a 95 automatic GSX transmission work in a 97 automatic transmission?

    What do you mean by the transfer ratio being different? Would getting the 95's transfer case solve this? :hmm:So if I get the full transmission, torque converter, and transfer case, would I be set? :thumb:

  34. Boston

    all suggestions appreciated! = ]

    Don't touch it. Step away from the vehicle. As someone who had the car overheat from just a punctured coolant hose, you don't want to deal with an entire failing system. Just my 2 cents.But you will do what you do. Good luck!

    Stock 2g Green, How does it look?

    I currently have a white 97 Eclipse GSX, and if I was to repaint it, it would be blue, perhaps the EVO VIII blue. I think you should go for it; it would look so good, especially with a carbon fiber hood.
