R33 Overheating?

[mr-r33]

hi guys ...well got my car up and runing.....but here is the problem she is overheating......i had it sitting there for 1/2hr idaling and the temp at 1/2 but as i went up the road and come back the temp was on hot and boiling. i think it maybe the fan as i can spin it to easy......what do you guys think it maybe??

how long was the radiator dry for? once the internals dry out it can amplify any blockages you may have had before hand.

thermostat installed correctly? (dont know what you did to not have the car running )

give some background on what you just completed

brought the car smashed about a month or so ago was last rego in 2007....so put a new water pump on it, fan and so on. i didn't do the thermostat as it was not overheating idleing but may need a new one the rad i put in was a used one but was in top nik and the fan looked ok but did not feel ok...

i would be looking at an air pocket as well, re-bleed your coolant system - there are how too's in lots of threads.

ok i know the stock fan is gone and is not good so what do you guys think about 2 12" Thermo Fans....i have seen a few post where ppl dont like them but have seen some where ppl are happy with them.

oh and will 2 12" Thermo Fans be big enough
