Clicking From Engine After Spark Plug Work

[dave_1]

i will give it a go, im sure on my rotor the thermo worked fine, not sure what size the stock rb20 fan is, but must be around 12in.

if it dont work , i will just chuck a normal fan and shroud back on. probly going to leave the shroud on anyways.

damn some of your cars run hot, my r33 has stock fan and radiator with nismo thermostat and 1.3bar radiator cap and my average temp is 76 - 78 degrees, after hard long drives the most it goes to is 82, the hottest the car gets is when i turn it off and even then it only reaches 90 degrees maximum, usually around 88 depending on the day

Scarface,

Cooler isn't always better.

I believe SK stated a while back the RB's make the most power around 85degree's.

Best fuel economy is also achieved around the same 85degree's.

If you are running the stock ecu it will most definitely be pushing additional fuel in to the car when its running temp is under 80degree's. Which isn't a good thing. :S

Aftermarket ecu and tuned to suit the cooler running temp if you run a nismo cooler thermostat.

And if your radiator is stock, anything over a stock cap is shortening the life of the plastic tanks dramatically.

Mine sits between 75 - 80degrees, depending on outside temp.

Haven't had a seriously hot day and the laptop plugged in though yet.

I might be swapping to twin thermos soon aswell, and ditch the viscous.

Viscous = power sapping mongrel...

Plus, it looks like it's about to explode...
