True but some credit has to be given on some things. I would expect there to be other issues like pinking or smoky exhaust.

think its very strange no one has mentioned setup. If the iginition is wrong, or the fueling is out, it might run hot, also at idle. Get the car set up properly if you have not already.. Own the day

Mine starts to get hot too, but the past few engines in the car have done the same so I think it's the gauge. I got one of those infared thermometors off ebay, they are handy for stuff like this plus you can use it for charge temps etc to an extent. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

I found with my front rad that temps rose when at a stand still with the fan on also and one reason I changed back to the side mount.

Theyre on the on a manual switch, ive had the car out tonight amd it didnt seem to get as hot as normal, this was after messing with the mixture. The smoke appears slightly on tickover, but its quite bad on over run? 1/4 Mile 14.3secs 96Mph Terminal 10psi of boost.

i'd personally plumb the heater tap back into the top rad hose, and run a 74 degree stat.

Do you know the under bonnet method for setting the mixture screw? If you can remember the older style carbs that had the lifting rod under the dash pot which you used to lift the dash pot at idle, you do much the same thing, but by quickly flicking the butterfly from closed to fully open back to closed and listen for the engine pitch change.

I am of the opinion that in order to use this method on a turbo carb you will need to block of the part throttle lean of pipe then reconnect it after you have completed the adjustment. Own the day
