hey guys i need help..........

i have had a front mount installed recently and since then i have had over heating problems....

the radiator was cleaned out the other day (was 80% blocked) and the thermostat has been changed yet still it heats up...............

tends to only get hot after around 30-40min and worse when going up long hills............

any help or ideas would be appreciated guys thanks

If the radiator has just been flushed and there are no issues with fluid leaks. then it is possible that due to the intercooler taking the majority of the coldest air the radiator is no longer getting sufficient airflow. Actually not really airflow just that the air it is now receiving will be hotter as the intercooler has first dibs on the coolest air. A bigger radiator could solve this problem.

like others have said, it wud be ur front mount - since that is what u installed prior to overheating...

-u cud try adding spacers to the bonnet to lift it up slightly for better flow through the engine

-bonnet vents

-bigger radiator

-a non-restrictive front grill and/or front bar (vents and holes etc)

-more fans

-better coolant.

      Have you flushed the initial fluid yet? It should look like a rainbow unicorn shat glitter into it. 2nd or 3rd fluid change is when you party.

      all brand new unit from Tomei, fluid, bearings, etc. Tomei said they call it a 1.5 lsd because its 100 percent lock up under acceleration and 50 percent under deacceleration.  as I mentioned I used their fluid, install and their break-in procedure, (alot of figure 8's) but even when driving straight, or even slowly backing out of garage for first time, (at 2 mph) then driving to and from figure 8 parking lot, each tire in the rear would sporadically grab, skip, bounce, shutter and skip, shutter back a force I could feel causing clutch to slip then grab, at any speed. shaking entire car. I removed unit, since I put stock back in and all is fine, via process of elimination, its something with the lsd unit itself. I wasn't going to beat up the entire car more or change anything else for no reason as I had a feeling something in the lsd itself was wrong as everything was fine before this alone was installed and I rechecked over everything else after first time backing out I suspected an issue. I'll probably sadly already need new tires now just from trying to drive it 5 miles and performing the figure 8 break in. but if someone has any ideas I'm all ears

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
