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.

      Nah, turn the boost up, break the gearbox, and enjoy leaving it parked for a few years while you save for a better box...

      I see those two Stageas have the "punched 40mm hole" deregistered Japanese number plates 👍 Nice kouki group shot with the different colours too.

      Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt.

      Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck
