You should expect half. Which is generally ~70degree's to ~109degree's.

Operating temp should be around 83-85degree's when using a genuine thermostat.

When you come to a stop the coolant continues to circulate to cool the turbo's; its called thermo syphoning. That is most likely the bubbling type noises you hear.

You should only be concerned if its pushing water oil the overflow.

Not sure exactly for the GTR but bubbling after the car has been turned off is bad, I suspect it's coming from the overflow container? If you could find out for sure it would help. If so then definite cooling system issues.

Cheers,

Matt

I've just bought a GTR R32 & I'm concerned with overheating as I can hear the radiator bubbling after going for a normal drive. The temp guage sits at around half. What should I expect in the way of operating temps?

For the temp gauge to sit around half is normal. But the bubbling sound I have not heard of... Maybe do a radiator flush. Something might be claged up... not sure.

Also use good radiator coolent. I use Techteloy 100, seems to work fine.

Thermosyphoning.

Unless the bubbling is coming from the overflow I wouldn't worry about it and put the noise down to thermosyphoning which is completely normal.

Mine begins a slight bubble 30s-60ecs or so after shut down; its 100% bled correctly and has always done it. All though only a single turbo the principle is the same with twins.

i agree with cubes.

the bubbling sound is quite normal and should well resemble a sound similar to the dying stages of your kettle comming to a boil when making a cup of tea, as essentually, thats whats happening.

my GTR runs a standard temp of arround 75 - 85 degrees depending on weather im driving on highway (cooler) or around town (hotter)

its good you guys are listening to odd sounds comming from your cars and keeping an eye on them, so good work for questioning it - but this one is nothing to worry about :D

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
