Not sure this is the right place to post this, so moderators you can move it to the correct place if needed.
recently bought a 2g 97 gsx with FMIC and FP manifold and turbo.car wants to over heat after driving for 20 minutes or so. I have a/c and have to turn on the heater full blast just to keep the temps in check. OEM radiator, oem fans. I did notice that the over flow tank was empty. Not sure if that’s a contributing factor, though about checking for leaks and seeing if there is air in the system.
drove 4 hrs on the freeway and had to keep the heater on while driving, no smoke, car pulls fine. Just overheats.
also temp gauge rises to middle of gauge extremely quick like in 5 minutes and doesn’t overheat till 15-20 minutes later. I doubt it’s a head gasket as the temp will go back down when off throttle. But at idle it will rise.
any help appreciated, have ecm link so will check logs.
