Old topic I know...but since my cooling system if filthy as hell I decided to replace some of the old gear for:

New radiator silcone hoses

ASI 42mm aluminium radiator

Low temp thermostat (62C)

also keeping the stock clutch fan for now,

is this a good improvement for my car?

why the low temp thermostat? unless its getting hot there should be no need for it, it can actually be worse as cars are made to run properly at a certain temp and if it dosnt reach that temp they wont run to there full potential.

well it should lower operating temp of the car which should make it more efficient and as skylines tend to run very hot it should be an advantage?

operating temp might be lowered be around 5-10C and i dont see how that could harm the car?

mine runs at 75-85 thats far from hot and from what i have read most people run around that temp so if yours is getting hot (which i would class as a constant 90+) then you have other problesm you need to fix instead of masking the problem with a colder thermostat.

and running cooler wont "harm" the car its the fact that the fuel and ignition maps are altered depending on engine temp so if it isnt in the range that the ecu likes then it wont be running at its best.

here u go as promisted

its a tridon brand part no TFS141

its used in most mitiubishis model from 1992-2004 (ie lancer ,3000gt,manga,mirage)

and it even comes with a o ring

herea a pic up against the factory 1 (yes the tridon 1 is the nice shiney 1)

with this temp switch, how do you wire it up with a relay?

i put this on the other week and it worked fine for 2 weeks and has stopped working. has anyone else had this issue?

i had it wired up as an earth switch, is this the way its meant to be done?

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
