Bad Thermostat?

[Danny]

Maybe I'll swap this 10 degree cooler thermostat as well and see if it helps.

What's the deal with that avatar Danny?

[Danny]

People always think I'm my avatar.

[Adrian_Visser]

Fuck what happened to that chick you had on there that every motherfucker on here now has.

[Danny]

They all copied me.

I found in my e36 that running just the acc. fan on at all times wasn't enough to keep temps down. Electric puller fan solved that.

I've yet to start driving my m50 swap around, but I've got 88c tstat, e36 rad, puller fan, 80/88 fan switch, running coolant/water/water wetter. This should keep the motor icy in traffic w/ a/c running.

[Danny]

I have no A/C and its a 16"spal mounted to the rad as a pusher. The coolant was low, I'm guessing thats what it was.

[Adrian_Visser]

My engine actually stays pretty cool in traffic with just the aux fan on low speed at all times, I have a stewart high volume water pump and 80* thermostat though. Of course as soon as i see the temp needle inching towards the right side of the middle mark I blast my heat on full for a bit but the temps take quite a while to start going up.

Too bad I'm a dumbass and ordered the wrong temp switch, pretty sure that the high speed isn't working anyway since I have never heard it come on.

I have a similar "problem" when I stop at a gas station, when I come back and turn the key temp goes a little beyond half, start up, after a rev or two the temp goes down.
I don't believe the OEM gauge, I'm a dumbass for being lazy to ground my addon temp sensor.

[nando]

that's normal, the hot coolant will rise to the top, and so will any air bubbles.

nothing wrong with the stock E30 gauge if it's working

where is the leak?

[Danny]

Firewall I think.

[Yeee30]

same leak we had the first time we filled her up....

[Danny]

Maybe? Not really too sure.

[Danny]

Okay I filled her up with coolant and it went away but I'm losing coolant. But I'm pretty sure its only under high rpms and my oil in my dipstick and full cap isn't milky. Ideas?
