Procharger Overheating
Hey guy I got an ati Prochrger on bored out engine and if I drive normally then everything is normal but as soon as I redline it couple times it starts to overheat and even when the fans go on the tempeture doesnt go down.
Agreed with the previous poster.. but in the mean time:
I've heard of 'heatsoaking' with the popcharger. I have the JWT popcharger and I have no such problems... but I have heard other posters having similar issues.
However, I believe 'heatsoaking' has more to do with the air temp getting too hot (or hotter than usual) while the car is at idle. Most claim this goes away as soon as the car gets moving.
So essentially,
maybe it has more to do with your bored out pistons rather than the popcharger

maybe dumb questions...but....do you have coolant in your system? I've heard of guys getting bubbles in their coolant lines...and not getting the cooling they need...maybe that's it. I'm runnin a procharger on 9psi, and I flog on it daily, no issues yet

OP, if you are overheating chances are you have air in the cooling system, your thermostat has failed, or you have more serious issues (blown HG).
Are you seeing any smoke (steam) out the exhaust?
Have you purged the cooling system yet?
Are you sure your cooling system is full?
Is the Tstat opening when the engine is up to temp?
Since you live in Seattle, we know ambient temp is not your problem, lol...

I changed termostat to a lower temp one Nismo 68C. System is full and tried to purge it to what I knew. Is there a special way to purge the system? and what are the signs of a blown Head gasket?

If you have a blown HG, you may be seeing any or all of the following: reduced power, overheating, white smoke (steam) out the exhaust with a sweet smell to it, oil in the coolant, coolant in the oil (the dreaded "milkshake"), overflowing coolant due to cylinder pressure, and/or black particles (from combustion) in the coolant. What symptoms you have will depend on where exactly the HG failed.
