Mate give it a serious flush and put Techaloy pre-mix coolant in.

If it still occurs get it to a radiator place asap and ask them to check your cooling system and give you a quote.

you have the worst luck benoss.

The guy who sold you this car is damn lucky.

I don't really trust the factory water gauge. :(

Is you radiator cap in good shape ?

And your radiator ?

Does your coolant circuit go under pressure at all when hot ? Or does it have a lot of pressure in it ?

Does your viscous clutch still locks when the engine seems to run very hot ?

How old/many km the water pump is/have ?

Any symptoms of a possible overheating ?

Some of the radiator fins are pretty bashed up, it has a thermo fan doesn't run the clutch fan anymore. Both the thermo and front aircon fan thing come on when it gets hot hot. The car only has a genuine 103xxxkm's on it so I'm guessing that's how old the water pump is hahaha?

A week or two ago the brackets on the thermo snapped and I was stupid enough to drive it one night with out the thermo fan and it over heated that same night and since then it's just been getting really hot

Alright it's not bubbling in the over flow bottle anymore, it just spat coolant out from the top overflow thing on the bottle? My guess is that it's blown a head gasket. :(

You can check for combustion carbon in the coolant easily, but more likely it is either still in need of bleeding, or the radiator cap isn't sealing properly.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
