Just Finished Turbocharging!!!

started two days ago and finally finished it. the car is MUCH faster then before and the BOV sounded sweet even though it is recirculating back to the intake. start up the car and went for a drive but forgot i still have 87 octane in the tank. everything was fine, low compression pistons and all the other stuff. I'M very happy with the Garrett Turbo Kit. look at my image thing on the left for pics. one problem, the coolent temp is very high, any ideas? thanks

223 deg for low fan speed
230 before the fans go on high.
are they running(cooling fans)

If you havent got it tuned maybe your running a little to lean causing the engine temp to be
a little higher.

Welcome to the ever-growing Turbo 'Balt Club!

Work on bleeding the air out of the cooling system to get the temps down. PM me for hints if you like.

Looks good from the pics. Any plans to lower it a bit? Have fun with the new found boost, but be careful.

the car is lowered a long time ago, way before the engine rebuit and everthing esle (year and half) i just haven't updated in a while. the video will have to wait, i still haven't work out all the bugs yet, the coolant is little bit crazy right now, and i think i have a little exhaust leak somewhere. and it is buring a little bit of oil due to the new pistons i installed not long ago. only 12k into the break in period. i'll post vids when it is in top performance.
