Any Temp trouble with a GA16DET?

dburone · Dec 25th, 2007, 07:36 PM

Im about to start to build my GA16DE with a Turbo, already have all the parts.
I just want to know if the stock ga16de cooling system can hold on with a turbo.
Thanks

I have a t-20 and the only problem I've had with cooling was when I forgot to tighten a heater hose and leaked out all my coolant because I'm a genius like that. Otherwise it stays pretty cool. I am going by the stock gauge and I don't know how accurate it is though.

I'd like to know the answer to the original question in this thread too. There are several turboed GA's out there now. Have any of you needed to upgrade the radiator?

CDS13, dburone is asking about the stock GA radiator's cooling system efficiency, not turbo lag.

Thanks, thats the idea!
Actually I was having temperature problems and I found out that my cars radiator was smaller than the stock radiator. Maybe another owner changed it sometime. I bought a new one but its from a Sentra with a diesel engine and the core is double thick than the original ga16de's radiator. I guess that will help when I get the turbo under the hood.
I still would like to know if the stock ga16de radiator would be good enough for a turbo setup.
Thanks
