well im haveing a lil problem with my car.. when i turn it off it want's to overheat unless i leave the key turned over for the fan to run.. i just put a oem radiator in because i got a hole in my other one. Don't know if there is air in the sytem ive let it run for 20 min with a/c on hot with rad cap off. only 1 of my fan's work, so i was wanting to know will the mishimoto slim fan's work on stock radiator? i might just redo the whole cooling system

TRD thermo
Mishmoto Rad
Mish slim fan's

running out of idea's

 

please explain... what do u mean it wants to over heat when u turn off car...

 

when i turn the car off after driveing it let is sit for mayb 30 second's and i turn the key over and the gauge is almost at the 3rd line or at the 3rd line sometimes...

 

eeeek thats high

 

lol ok ? no help

 

was this going on before the radiator change? by changing fans you may not be solving the problem itself.

 

Thats not how you bleed the scion tc....

To bleed. Start the car make sure radiator is full. Let the car warm up to full temp. make sure radiator cap is working properly and is tight. turn the heat on hot and full blower.

On the right side of radiator is bleeder. ITS A white ***. Slowly turn this open untill air/coolant comes out.. Let this bleed of untill no air is comming out.. sometimes takes 5-10 min..

let cool down check coolant level..

refill if needed and recheck.

 

so only one fan turned on? did you check the fuses or maybe the fan motor got burned or something? try to make it idle with ac on cool and see if both fans turns on like it should.. also where did you mount your fans, front of ac condenser or at the back of the radiator? remember the front mounted fans doesnt work as good as the stock location.. Also make sure your fans are blowing or pulling air on the right direction.. you turbo isnt water cooled right? it shouldnt overheat as much as a water turbo.. also clearance from your turbo to radiator will give extra heat on your system, shouldnt cause overheating though when everything else is working

oh you mishimoto rad has a hole? try to contact them if you are still in warranty, they will send you a new one just take some pics and the copy of receipt from the vendor.

 

the new radiator has the little bleeder but it doesint come out from the top like my first oem rad mike it comes out the side.. and no i had oem rad first.. and yes one of my fans burnt out... im about to get my civic on the road and just redo the whole cooling system.. was just seeing if anyone had and suggestion's why it's doing this

 

isint there a fan shroud for the mishimoto rad that block's heat from the turbo?

 

the mish shroud was really designed to pull more air but it may help blocking heat from the turbo.. are you using the oem fan shroud?

 

no i have the slim fan's that come with the TT kit's one shorted out so only one work's haven't had this problem untill i got this new radiator.....that's what happen's when u order from ebay.... once i get my honda on the road i won't be DD my TC anymore
