Can VSR not send you a base map to drive there on? At the very least I'd do some data logging of what's going on with the GTM map and your new motor before I got out on the highway for a long drive.

Not to mention that you are probably going to want a break-in map.

no break-in map but a lot of throttle control.. lol I'm about to order some motul 5-30 breakin oil and run that for about 600 miles...

That's going to be the hard part. IRC your car has been down for over a year...Keeping your foot out of it is going to take more control than a teenager trying to stop at just putting the tip in

Come on brotha not a year.. lol

COSMO · 05-01-2014, 07:22 AM

My heat wrap should be in today so hopefully next week I will have the motor back in.. Stay tuned..

After speaking with chuck her on the forum I have decided to go with a thermostat from a 2008 g37 since it opens at 170degrees instead of 180.. Thanks again chuck..

I'm running it too. Car read outside temp of 98deg this week and it's only April. Gotta love Texas summers.

Mine has histroically run 5-6deg hot

Any little bit helps as hot as it gets in FL or TX.

Just ordered a new Setrab 34 row core and a CSF Radiator.. Between that and the lower thermostat and heat wrap for the tubo's and manifolds hopefully this will address the heat issues in the hot summer...

Chuck33079 · 05-01-2014, 12:05 PM

Make sure your tuner addresses the fan tables. Sam doesn't really do much with them and that probably makes the biggest difference.

Chuck33079 · 05-01-2014, 12:41 PM

Maybe at intake level sitting on the freeway in traffic? Either way it's starting to get hot, dammit.

theDreamer · 05-02-2014, 07:30 AM

The car ambient temp is always 5-8 degrees higher than what it is actually reported because of heat off the road, exhaust, etc.
Sitting in traffic on the beltway I can see 10 degrees higher than actual ambient temps per the car sensor and I would believe it. Though with my fan speed, CSF, thermostat, vented hood my water temps stay at 200 and peak at 208 now in full traffic.
