  1. Okay so my car is going in to be getting g an ecu and mapped in 3 weeks and was told to get a FPR so they can make sure everything g is safe.

    Was going to go with the tuning developments kit, anyone had any problems with these or recommend anything else?

    When I get it just want to know how to install and set it up to stock pressure

    Need all the help I can please

    Thank you

  2. With the evans you dont really no if you have a problem or not. Evans can run hotter as you said which is why your gauge may be higher.engine doesnt run hotter but the temperature of the coolant does. With normal coolant you'd really know if you have an issue.

    It will run the same temp under the same conditions ...

  3. Thats the thing with evans, it masks issues with the coolant system.

    How? If I was using normal toyota coolant I would still be having the same problem I'm having now but would be a lot worse due to the amount of pressure it would be creating and strain on parts such as hoses ect, if anything it has saved my engine as a water based coolant could have created a leak by putting too much strain on the cooling system, then again it may not have, but I don't see how it could mask a problem, it does the same job just in a safer way imo

  4. Doesn't the waterless coolant run hotter? Thought that was the whole point of it?

    It can be run in an engine hotter if that's what you mean yes, because it doesn't boil till 180 C it's pretty safe as an engine shouldn't be getting anywhere close to that temp, where as water boils at 100 so anything hotter than that creates a lot of pressure.

    I'm more worries about how my engine is running at these temperatures, rather than something braking or becoming dangerous

  5. 100 seems pretty high to me, mine kicks in at a bit over mid point but only stays on for say 30 seconds or so regardless of if it drops back down to mid point or not, I end up just opening the windows and turning on the heater or turning the Car off if sitting at lights, once I start moving it starts to drop to mid point

  6. Would a normal thermostat be fine or would it be best to go with a low temp one? Of so where can I get one I know TD do them but they are a bit pricey, have read a stat from another car fits and is at a lower temp ?

  7. have you ac removed ? i think one plug of that you can wire fan to and its on constant then or just make a new lead and run it to the battery and a switch inside the car

    or maybe someone has another idea

    Thanks mate
  8. Hi everyone.

    My glanza always overheats in traffic, I have an id-workz triple core half rad and waterless coolant.

    Driving around is fine but as soon as I am sitting for a few minutes the Temps go up, the fan doesn't seem to kick in till quite late so was wondering what I could do.

    Any help would be great.

    Thanks

  9. Notices I was leaking coolant from the elbow at the back of the engine today, looks like it would be a pig of a job replacing and also can't fined any new ones to replace with, anyone done this job ? And where is the best place to get the hose

    Thanks
