Nah i was the 1 with the black GT with orange wheels who spent most the day in the pit fixing my car but i think u might have got me in my 1st session out which lasted about 5 laps lol

 

[Vboi!]

[lleey2k4]

Mikey you bad man cheers

 

[Mikey B]

Lol no worries, had a sneak peak at your turbo setup looks good :rockon: what were you running on that setup boost wise?

Next time i will make more time to talk to people

 

[lleey2k4]

Well its mapped for a bar but i went out in the morning at 0.7 bar and melted the fan and screamer pipe snapped off the wastegate and kept popping off boost pipes so didnt get chance to turn it up end of the day i over heated so was the worst trackday i ever had

wounder, i had temp issues throughout the day too whenever i tried to run above 1 bar, settled for 12psi in the end.

still running an NA starlet rad, and although it's fine on the road, need to upgrade to something beefier for track use.

 

[Vboi!]

wahay! pics of mine finally

thanks mikey

I had the same problem at Jafest Ian, on a Uk spec rad i got 110 deg after 10 mins. Im now running a Glanza rad and i had 100 deg after 10 min's out at wales weekend on 1 bar TD04.

 

[Matt Glanza]

All my tracksrssions used to be spoiled by over heating.car never went over 80c on sat.

 

[lleey2k4]

Whats your secret Matt? What kinda boost and turbo setup was u running?

 

[weakboy2]

not enough obviously lol.

Probs got a low temp stat, which should be in the bin.

 

[Matt Glanza]

A k26 at a measly bar.it does have a low temp stat but just a standard ep91rad that's been re cored.that's it

 

[Rory]

My own GT never gets above 85 on track - 1.4bar TD04 on a alloy civic rad, and oil cooler to boot

 

[lleey2k4]

Think mine was getting to 200 degrees melting everything in the bay and things started dropping off lmao

 

[weakboy2]

lol, sure you havent got a low temp stat in there somewhere rory? i thought normal engine temp was around 90degrees?

what gauges you running Rore?

 

[Dub-Se7en]

a glanza/GT rad would be too wide without redesigning the intercooler, might look into a civic radiator setup and maybe a bigger oil cooler, oil temps were up to around 120 peak, so too hot still,

Rory, where did you get your alloy rad from?
