OBD1 S52 E30 Still OVERHEATING!

[TheRealE30kidd]

...I have a Pusher fan in the front...

got to ask...you mentioned fan in first post but nothing else. Is your elec fan still working ? themo switch good ? manual switch.

It's a Manual switch so I know it's on.


Driving around today it was cold out side and it
Wasn't heating up as quick. Have a 2002 M coupe radaitor on order and will be in tomorrow.

Stock late model M20 rad/overflow setup, good non plastic, non stamped impeller wp, 80C thermo, non leaking cooling system (IE, able to pressurize itself to ~.5-1bar) blue or green coolant (yes blue is better but green will NOT cause overheating)

youve got something routed wrong or your HG is blown or your used radiator is shit.

One of these:

A. Used HG and engine is shit
B. Used radiator is shit
C. Something is attached 100% wrong

A simple leak down test costs less than throwing parts at it and will tell you;

A: is this used engine shit
B: what is wrong/how to fix.

I believe leak down tests scare most people on R3v just like how ebay turbo+ virtual dyno = total shit.
