help overheating 2000 jimny

[SweeP]

so way the original engine fuh dat or yuh get in ah accident with ah 120y

[devsingh]

the original transmission mash up and they (previous owners) put in that engine and transmission, but some problem with their mechanic and the engine disappear. so i bought it as is

Anything yet my friend??
I've been re-observing the current setup my 120. The fan hardly comes on...even at idling because of the aluminum radiator i've installed. It's still in my head that it's either the water pump or the radiator. I guess you checked long ago that the water pump pulley is the original one and not some oversized one....might sound stupid...

[devsingh]

water pump was changed and small pulley; faster turning, what i did do was install a clutch fan from an SR20 red top, fit beautifully. the overheating whilst driving is solved.

New problem

overheating idling with ac on over 15 mins
it takes very long to overheat and a very short time to cool once i start moving

[devsingh]

i cut a blue plastic barrel and made a shroud as it was difficult to find and very difficult to install seeing that the fan is bigger than the radiator

[gt4tified]

Love the home made shroud man! Re new problem...ur a/c fan or fan wiring may need an upgrade.

[devsingh]

will try to source a larger ac fan and hope that solves my new problem

[Hyper V Racing]

Would a 16" pusher fan for a/c help?
Note: Chinese and taiwan fans are crap....Flexalite, spal etc...are better
Mishimoto i do not favour....they spin too slow

[devsingh]

ti fit that i'll have to remove the existing condenser fan, if you think it'll be better than two smaller fans, then i'll try to source one

Spal fans in stock..they are #1

i join trinituner with an overheating problem and i see pressure from "riding on 13's" to "ricer" to "street tuner" by the time this whole thing over i might be an administrator.

[timos976]

hahhahahahha welcome to the tuners lol

[devsingh]

timos, dd you every get that thermal imaging camera we spoke about ?

[devsingh]

okay guys, one last mod done and the overheat whilst idling stopped. after doing more research, i closed the gap between the ac condenser and the radiator. that's it !
no additional condenser fan , no replacing existing condenser fan, just bring the condenser directly on the radiator.
i think hot air was probably re-circling instead of cooler air from outside even though i have a shroud, but the engine compartment is cramped.

so once again problem solved

[tow_tray]

Sorry to hijack but im looking for a vacuum port for a 120y intake manifold, not single but double.

Ok after reading all the comments I just wanna ask a question how is the adjustment on your caby? cuz if its too lean u will experience over heating and yur a/c should not cause over heating except yur fan not working as it should, with a/c on your idle goes up thus extra heat but with fan in good order any extra heat should be quickly dissipated, u might also wanna check and change the hoses that come from the radiator because they might be soft and compressing when the engine at high revs thus causing restriction in water flow and your over heating problem....idk....just saying u might wanna take a look see...

[devsingh]

thanks dude, solved the problem though, it was the engine was too inefficient to cool with an electric fan, clutch fan solved the problem
