ah ok, im going to buy a thermostat tomorrow and see what happens. Maybe it wasnt a problem when i bought it in march because it wasnt that hot outside yet.. thanks

hmmm i thought that running lean would make it overheat not running rich. I was initially running lean after I installed the turbo (i have an AEM wideband) but after being tuned, it is now running rich for engine safety since Im on 18 pounds.. But im not sure thats my problem because like i...

And im not sure the fan shroud would help that much. When i say its overheating, it gets around 3/4 of the way up on the stock gauge and Im sure it could have kept going up...

After it overheated, I had it tuned with the new turbo because the timing was off. And it has overheated both on the highway and after getting off the highway once there is traffic and I slow down. Generally, if Im on the highway for longer than 20-30 minutes, it will overheat very quickly. And...

Im going to try to explain everything in this post that I have done in the last couple months in which ive had this sporadic overheating problem. Ok, I bought an 87 mk3 with a rebuilt engine with 40 over pistons and arp studs, stock turbo, 3'' custom exhaust, hks MHG, pretty new core radiator...

im gonna check my intercooler, Im willing to bet there is some oil in there... And its funny because i had a lot of the symptoms as you. I started overheating right after I installed the bigger turbo so i changed my electrical fans to the stock one and its still overheating. And now, im having...

Im not sure if there was oil, but it definitely smells like oil and theres oil residue at the end of my exhaust. Ive also been having an overheating issue that is very confusing. Only overheats on the highway but thats a topic for another day..

its th stock turbo i previously had on before I upgraded to a bigger c26. it was in good running condition before i took it off, a little shaft play but not much at all. And like the other thread, my IC piping had a LOT of oil in it. Not milky or anything, but a lot in the turbo and a lot around...

I havent left it on long enough for it to get completely warmed up, maybe 5-10 minutes. Ill see if it does when it gets warmed up. Would there be a reason for it to go away when its warmed up?

mostly white but there is some blue smoke and it smells like oil. should i just proceed with a leakdown test?

A couple weeks ago, I started my car up and it had a very rough idle and there was some smoke (white/blue) coming out of my exhaust. I never had a problem with exhaust smoke so I knew something was wrong. I popped the hood and noticed that the turbo was also smoking at the point where the...

I hope so! how much power were you making with the 6152?

Hey guys, Ive been looking at the 6262 precision turbo and I was wondering what supporting mods would be needed for this upgrade. I already have 3'' exhaust, a 255 walbro, 550 injectors, lexus afm, and rebuilt engine with .040 pistons and arp studs. I was also wondering if the HKS FCON...

I first thought that I had a problem with my alternator but I am now considering that there may be a big vacuum leak. At idle, the engine runs poorly and idles anywhere from 500rpms up to 1500rpms. When I drive it, it sometimes stalls out when I put it in neutral. The rpms will fall all the way...

I've had a lot of overheating problems in the last couple months ever since I've had the 60 trim ct26, which I know everyone said is prone to overheating/failing so I changed my electric fan and put the stock fan clutch on. I also changed some of the hoses like the radiator hose and some of the...

Oh I know, I recently had it tuned though and it was around 13-14 but all of a sudden this smoking started to occur and now it's smoking like I said. I've had some cooling problems lately and i think I have a heater core leak. Could that be part of the problem?

And the air fuel ratio is around 10-11 at idle...

yeah it smells like burnt oil a little bit, but no that much.

Yes, the head and block were machined when the mhg was intstalled. And yes the smoke is continuous When revving, there is much more smoke.

Hey guys, On one of my other threads I was saying that I now have smoke coming out of the manifold and mostly white smoke with a blue tint coming out of the exhaust when I start the car up. I know the majority of the time its a bhg but I have an hks mhg that was installed not too ago and...
