Default LS VTEC TURBO

HEY GUYS

I am having problems with my ls vtec turbo setup! If the engine has a new water pump, new radiator new fan, new head gasket and it has been cleaned and shaved, and a new thermostat, what could cause it to overheat. I am testing to make sure for any pockets of air in the system but other than that I have no idea what is going on! can you help?

see any air bubbles coming out of radiator filler hole? Head gasket match? Ignition timing within specs? What u look for if your motor overheat? Gauge or steam?

Hey Everyone:

Thanks for all the input regarding the overheating process. We found found the problem. It was an underpowered cooling fan. We replaced it with OEM and car made 429whp with 336lbs of tourque at 15psi. Upgarding injectors and computer should produce 750+ on next dyno. The funnest build i have ever done so far. will keep every one updated!

Joel
