The IAT's were pushing 80 whilst on the dyno. Anyway, spoke with Brad and dropping it off tomorrow after work so he can have a look when he gets time. Hopefully something simple.Quote:

Yikes! Luis said mine reached 54C on the dyno max. Depends on strength of fan etc..Quote:

I have copied it for you here.....

I think there's still air in the system. The stock LSA system is an absolute PITA to bleed properly. The workshop manual says to do it under vacuum!
If you're doing it at home, you pretty much need 2 people. Flick the car on and off as the pump tries to prime then turns off so to keep it running you need to flick it on for 5-10 seconds then off again and keep going until it's bled.
Easiest way on your own I guess is to put a big container of coolant above the pump so it forces it's way down and thru the system but it's a pain to get it out of the loop without losing coolant. There isn't a big margin for losing coolant before the pump shuts off due to air.
1L in the reservoir doesn't have enough weight behind it, which is why the 12L reservoir works well. 12kg of coolant vs 1kg.
If you're running meth as well, it sounds like both systems have issues.
Anyway, if it's gone back to Brad, hopefully he sorts it out easily.
Is there a high point in the hose from the bottom of the reservoir feeding to the pump that traps air (like an air lock) or something?Quote:

Actually Rod has an LSA blower fitted AFAIK Gary. :yup:Quote:

Fantastic news Rod :goodjob:
Did you ask him why the IAT's were so high last time on the dyno?
Oops! :doh: :doh: Hopefully he hasn't got the same array as the VF re pump location etc..Quote:
