I'm using a 3.8l Taurus fan on low speed. Stock ka radiator on an s13 redtop sr, with fmic. I've run this setup before on about 4 s13s and have never experienced problems.

The car overheats when:

accelerating under load
going under boost for periods of time

and doesn't overheat as bad when i have the heat on.

It doesn't smoke, it doesn't eat coolant, it has good compression. I highly doubt theres coolant in the oil. The car runs great.

I'm 100% sure there are no air bubbles in the system, the rad. has been flushed. The thermostat and the waterpump have not been replaced yet.

Please anyone?
