Just had a 2.2 built for my hatchback. The best of everything. Made 800+ on high octane but had it tuned for 91. Makes 463 at 15 lbs. The question is during evening driving around town the temp. creeps to 225 degrees. I have a teledyne half radiator with slimline full cover fan. Is there any help for my baby?
Thanks
Gary

Wait are you talking about engine temps? If so make sure your radiator's been flushed and you have clean coolant. Or the easier thing to do is turn down the boost. I mean do you really need to run 400+ around town. If you want to play just up the boost, unless you don't have a boost controller.

Mugen makes a rad cap that ups the pressure to 1.3 bars to raise the boiling point of the coolant to make it run cooler. They also have a fan switch and thermostat that kicks in at 65 degrees instead of 85.
