over heating
Turbo Mini Forums

i got my turbo engine in my living room at the moment i havent fitted it yet, im starting to get my head around fitting it now thanks to the help of everyone on this forum (thanks guys)
i got to much time on my hands in work thats why im posting so many bloody topics lol
i got one more question, i notice most of you race your turbos but what about day to day use , im concerned about over heating, will it survive being stuck in traffic during the summer ?
as last year my standard 1275 over heated stuck in a jam on a blistering summers day

Never have a problem with mine except on the rolling road in summer.
Std mechanical fan, Electric fan (that rarely kicks in) and minispares 2 core rad...

I'd just try it and see!

You should be fine... as because your turbo engine will be running a lower compression it will be producing less heat untill under boost then it's a whole different ball game.
It's all down to thermal heat release of the fuel being lower because of the lower peak combustion pressures off boost.

Karl..

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.

Karl I like your answers!!

Basically suck it and see, fitting a front rad is a whole lot of work best avioded unless you need to!

ive got a minisport 2 core rad standard mechanical fan and electric fan on a switch so if it gets hot i flick it on and it the temp soon comes down
