i want something to help me in the heat....
im tired of my car running like **** in the warm humidty weather......
i was wandering wut do yall recommand.......also i plan to get 160 termo ...how much of a diffrence will it make

 

i heard howe is real good

 

With a 160* stat, a CSI water pump, and some purple ice, my car will hit about 170-180 in the Florida heat with the AC running.

 

I would say go with a Griffin aluminum radiator. Very good cooling and light weight.

 

yeah, i decided to do cooling and ignition first......what are the best cooling and ignitions mods.....i have a couple on my mod.....wut do yall recommand(track proven)

 

Ignition mods IMO are not going to add anything for power unless you have a power adder of some kind (NOS or supercharger). I would just get bigger wires and maybe a coil if you don't already have that. As far as an ignition box I would hold off because you will not see much of a gain for the money.

 

I heard be cool's work great and look cool too not sure how much they weigh though

 

In all honesty there is no need for a bigger radiator. I would try the following before buying an aftermarket radiaor:

- Put a 160 Thermostat in
- Get computer reprogrammed so fans come on earlier
- Electric Waterpump.

 

i was thinking the same thing but, i need something to help with the heat...also i heard the eletric water pump aint good for a daily driver, i dunno anyone tht reallys has it but i also heard that they over heat easy in hot weather ....i live in houston so i cant have that

 

im not sure where you heard that elec. water pumps arent good for daily drivers. theyre great for anything. they cool better and free up some horsepower in any type of driving.....end of story.

Take it from me, my car is a daily driver, it endures 115+ degrees in the summer, i have an electric waterpump that i just added last week, my fans are programmed to come on early, i have a 160 stat., My car never goes over 180, never. this was even before the elec. water pump.

i have a lot of family in houston, and i guarantee you that all you need to get your car to run cool even in the hottest houston months is a 160 stat and either a fan switch, or a tune to make em come on. dont replace your radiator unless its bad. if you do those 2 things and its not running as cool as you would like, get the water pump.

 

Put in a manual fan switch, thats what I did.

 

I think what he meant was it's longevity. It'll go out long before and mechanical pump would.

Reprogram fans and a 160* thermostat is a good start. I'd also have your radiator flushed and make sure there's no crap like leaves, plastic bags, etc stuck on the radiator. That makes a BIG difference.

 

thanx alot alot of good info....wut about ignition

 

I live nw of houston and I have an electric wp it has worked fine so far but I've only had it maybe 1/2 a year as for ignition I have a ltcc it's also been alright so far. I want to believe it's better than stock but as far as being the best I just don't know. I guess it's all about how much money you want to spend like most modes but I believe it's more than enough for me.

My car ran warm, but a 160 thermostat and a reprogram seems to have cured this condition.
