That's why I wondered if it's possible to bolt the fan on backwards - so it's actually trying to push air from under the hood out the front of the car. If that were the case - then the fan could be causing the symptoms described.QUOTE]
Michael, didnt the new Goldwings have that - it pushed the air forward at speeds under like 10 mph so the riders legs would not get burned, but then reversed (pulled) at speed....? that did not work too hot (NPI) for that application, as i recall. LOL.
oh, where is your whole sig?
back to the thread: in addition to all that was said, i would make sure the original chin spoiler deal is on there. that thing, i think, helps to pull air up to the radiator. otherwise, air cant hit the radiator (i know that on 4th gen camaros, if that chin spoiler is AWOL, the car seriously overheats). just thought i would toss that out there.......remember in the old days when cars had those grill things.
i know you said it overheats at higher RPM's, but what kind of speed are you talking? like 4K in first gear, or does it do this at 4K in 3rd gear? (i skimmed the thread- sorry if i missed that).
good luck.
