Default Procharger now running HOT

after the procharger install my car runs hot in town. put a new water pump and stat on and still same thing.

can sit in driveway and run forever and not over heat. as soon as i take it out it starts creeping hotter and hotter. on the highway it seems to be fine but as soon as i get off the highway its running hot.

if i turn the heat on it usually keeps it under control a littler better.

Are you running the fan shroud supplied from the kit - the one that blocks off half of the radiator? If so...that is more than likely the problem.

I'll bet the fan is running the wrong direction, it is very easy to wire the fan to where it is pushing air into the radiator instead of drawing air from the radiator. Bob

Make sure the ProCharger fan is not blowing at the radiator and bouncing off, to give you the illusion that the fan is spinning the correct direction. It is very easy to wire it incorrectly. Bob

If you smoke or anything just put a cig up to it and watch if the smoke pulles into the fan or away from it... I did this under the car in the area between the fan shroud and the engine.

Or stick a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator. If it stays put then the direction good.
