every thing is running hot!?!?!

[super supra dave]

ok so today i got the supra up and running. i know i need a new bypass cuz im still getting compressor surge. also my car over heated getting on the highway. i think my boost gage is not reading right, got a after market on that im putten on in the morn(i hope). around town it drives fine, just need to get the time right. its running 5 deg over what it should be. i think that might be why im over heating too. another thing was i opend my hood and the turbo was red hot. never seen that befor. am i running to much boost, or is it the timing. the only thing i can think of to run more boost that stcok(every thing is stock) is that the wast gate is stuck closed. that could be why im over heating on the highway, like i said around town is fine. any info would help. thanks

Clogged Cat?

radiator clogged?

check your cat too.
and after a long drive wouldnt the turbo be hot? but if your wastegate is stuck closed, then i think your motor would have either blown or you would have no power from the ECU detecting massive knock...

Clogged rad wouldn't make the turbo run "red hot"..

 

[super supra dave]

well i do need a new rad. there is a good amount of rust running around in there.

i was thinking about that after i started to read another thread...

and if hes still on the stock cat i could see that happening... could a possible fuel leak thats making his car run lean cause the turbo to be red hot??

It almost sounds like timing is retarded...like what you see with the CPS off a tooth.
The motor would run like crap though.

Timing off would cause the exhaust temps to be high. But as stated would run like crap off idle. Then again it could be. He is after all driving around with an inoperable wastegate with a known bad radiator. How much more brilliance is needed?

High exhaust temps is a sign of not enough fuel !
