heating issue
I have a heating issue that I can't fix, I have a mishimoto radiator, there racing thermostat and the fans that came with my ptuning kit. The car is fine on the highway cursing temps are around 180-185. The problem I have stop and go traffic the car starts to see temps around 215 and both fans kick in at the same time at 210(which seems high and late) the only thing I think of is that the cheap radiator is heat soaking and that the down pipe is extremely close. Wanted to know if any one has ever had any problems like this. Also both fans are spinning correctly, coolant is filled with 50/50 Toyota pink, and system has been bleed with heat on. I feel like adding another pusher in the front with a switch.

my car gets warm here down in oklahoma with the ac on but the temps are 109-114 im on stock radiator tho with 2 slim fans. do you kno wat your cfm's are on your fans? i was lookin at some 1000+ flowing cfm fans for my setup

why do you have one pushing and one pulling? is one mounted to the radiator and one mounted to the condensor? cause if their both facing the radiator spinning the oppisite way of each other....thats your problem.

It took me awhile to fix overheating issue. I heat wrapped my downpipe and i think it helps but not totally. I have 3 fans right now, 2 permacool pushers 12" and a 10" puller.. and a 170 degree themostat and mishimoto rad. I also have 30% coolant, 70% water.

FYI You have SPAL fans.
The problem is ONLY at idle. First I would try heat wrapping the downpipe and dumptube - as well as picking up a blanket for the turbo hotside.
If that doesnt help give this a shot - since the problem is only at idle try wiring the fan on the condenser to a puller. At idle it wouldnt matter which direction the fan is doing its job - and it would stop it from pushing hot air into your radiator.
If that doesnt work we will need to wire in seperate relays for both fans and control them with the Haltech to come on much earlier.
