hey guys
so I have a ej205 in the 914 and when sitting at lights in traffic it starts to overheat. I watch the temps clime to 208.4 at times if not hotter. I find that revving the car to 3k and keep it for about 30 seconds to get the coolant moving the temps will then drop down to 203. once i start moving and driving the temps drop all the way down to 197.6 I just feel that the water pump is not able to move the water from engine to radiator all the way in the front. has anyone else had issues like this and how did you repair them? add another water pump that's electric? |

Also, keep checking for air in the system. The long coolant lines going low and high create lots of places for air to get trapped. Once the system is full, cooling has never been a problem- even in 90+ degree stop & go traffic. I have an electric coolant pump, so can comment on the adequacy of the stocker.
