    radiator seem credible?

    Hmmm.. that Haste radiator is new, and looks almost exactly like my Koyo. Not diggin the rivets in the end tank, that just screams potential failure point, not to mention it might be covering up the Koyo stamp...

    why it wont rev passed 2500

    Didn't mean to come off as an ass, but we see it all the time. You know the vacuum lines aren't hooked up, so that would be the first think you need to get sorted. Vacuum can cause all sorts of issues...

    radiator seem credible?

    yes, because of the result without a t-stat The t-stat is going to open earlier, but your ending temps are going to be the same

    radiator seem credible?

    No, it doesn't work that way. You're hoping that your radiator will act like a heat sink, when that's not it's purpose. It's a heat exchanger. Get a fan shroud on there and I can almost guarantee you won't go over the T-stat's opening setting. That is the way the system is supposed to...

    It's alright. Personally, I'd buy one of the radiators that is know to work without modifications. Koyo, fluidyne, PWR...

    Fuel cut and/or wastegate issues

    Try a highway run, you'll realize you're not any slower ;) But the good news is, fuel cut DID IT'S JOB. It's there to protect the engine in case of wastegate failure in exactly your case.

    radiator seem credible?

    I'm with you... But I'm going to say this. YOU ARE GAINING NO MARGIN. YOUR COOLING SYSTEM IS ALREADY MARGINAL. THE T-STAT CAN NOT MAKE THE ENGINE COOLER ONLY THE RADIATOR AND WATER PUMP CAN.

    6m v.s. 7m crank

    Yeah, but knowing Toyota there was a reason... Doubt there is any documentation left that would shed some light on it, kinda sucks as I'd like to know myself... I need to drive a 7M crank car to see what the difference is...

    6m v.s. 7m crank

    yep, lower in the ECU as well... Maybe there was a harmonic at that speed that they found in testing? We can't really know, but they certainly had a hell of a lot more money and time to test it...

    radiator seem credible?

    You're misunderstanding what the T-stat does. It's a device to keep the temp at the optimal level, namely at the spec on the T-stat. Any colder and it closes, any warmer and you don't have enough cooling capacity and your system is marginal. If you had a fan shroud and a stock T-stat, it...

    radiator seem credible?

    If you're over the T-stat opening temp, you're overheating by definition.

    Somebody please explain to me why?

    It would need a cage to be safe to drive... If it could be done that easily, then the OEM's would put extra reinforcement in convertable/removable roof cars. Supras have a lot of bracing under the car on the targa models, and the doors on the targa models become stress members while they...

    radiator seem credible?

    Wrong. A fan without a shroud will suck air from the tips and around the radiator instead of THROUGH it. I don't care what your temps where, it just means the radiator was working as an effective passive cooler/heatsink. Get in stop and go traffic and you will heatsoak it eventually and...

    Arizona is Pretty Shitty when it comes to Renting Houses!

    Find out EXACTLY what your rights are. In Texas you have a TON of rights in this situation. If he defaults, the bank then becomes your new landlord and you have the option of actually buying the house or renting the same way as stated in your renting contract. Don't drop the ball on this...
