I'd be interested to know if the idling overheating happened over time or after changing some particular cooling system component .

I don't think I could have resisted actually removing that water pump to eyeball it and the section of block behind it .

Don't suppose it could be an N1 pump by any chance ? Can you tell from the outside ?

Um , it does have standard pulleys ie not under driven ones ?

Just a thought cheers A .

Sort of just happened over time I think.

Stock pump, not N1. All standard pulleys.

I have since flushed everything, put in new coolant, sealed the radiator right around tight, and installed a thermo. Seems to idle nicely at 82 degrees (I have the thermo coming on at 50% at 84 degrees.)

Hoping this has it all fixed

I have no idea why, but if my oil temp was up around 90 degrees, when my car was idling it would just idle into oblivious. seen it get to 112 degrees once when I wasn't looking.

As soon a sI put the craig davies fan on with more airflow, it stayed at 86 degrees.

i put my money on it having a N1 water pump.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

      It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
