    You got a recovery bottle.?  2 kinds of cap.  One allows coolant to vent through the overflow hose and onto the street, the other has the ability to allow the coolant back into the rad. (recovery type). Make sure they know which one you want. 16 psi should do it.

     

    Got any other temp gauges you could fit up.? Yours might be reading incorrectly. Try turning your fans on 10* colder.

     

    I dont have another guage at the moment , but ill try to get another one if the thermostat doesnt work

     

    its a non recovery type, just spits out on the ground if it overheats

     

    Its an aftermarket BA/BF header tank that i had the mounts rewelded to suit my application

    Coolant/water boils at a higher temp under pressure, Radiator cap has a relief spring, a seal, allows pressure to vent... cheap too.!!

     

    Bottom hose collapsing

     

    Timing issue

     

    Anything in the Windsor block, that may have come loose.  EG:  dirt, sand, mud that is now in the rad.?

     

    Heat issues are always a PITA,  let us know how ya get on.

    at the moment it runs a near brand new Tridon cap

     

    the one where you can pull it up to relieve the pressure (great fuckin idea if you need to top it up when its hot!)

     

    Totally forgot to get the damn cap today! To hot outside its messing with my body , im not used to it! 

     

    Ill swing past supercheap tmoz and grab one. I assume 16psi is fine ?

    Dodgy ignition module or hall effect sensor throwing the timing out, and/or a faulty IAT sensor causing the same.

     

    EFI Windsors are bad for it.

    (assuming of course it's an EFI Windsor)

     

    In my experience, they'll get up to 110degrees, but won't actually overheat.

    Just run very hot.

    I pretty much just want it to run at about 85ish degrees , its lpg only it should run fine , that way if something goes wrong im not already at 96 degrees or whatever they normally run at

     

    Where do i buy the Ign Module ? Car is setup with a Impco 425 and an MSD box on the original dizzy, no other efi hardware at all

     

     

    The fact it creeps slowly and stays there @ hy speed shows theres air going past but yet temp rises. If the thermstat has a by pass in it or if it's even working can be a issue. Seems very cold for a stocker and car run @ the most efficient closer to water boiling point.

     

    Id change to a hotter thermostat and confirm it actually works and check water flow.Like said maybe the rad is partially blocked and or the thermostat is the issue.

     

    Next question is the gauge imperial or metric ?  

    Its a metric guage lol

    Rad is pretty much brand new, and its an even level of heat throughout

     

    ill buy a new thermostat at supercheap today.. ill also source some of that spring that they use in the lower hose because it sucks in a little bit (but wasnt enough for me to worry about it untill now)

     

     

     

    I should add ! this cooling setup (fans / rad / ect) used to cool my grout filled clevo , until it needed to be pulled apart so i swapped in the windsor

    I have a windsor in my XB .. and up until a while ago everything was fine with the cooling. 

    I am not sure why but slowly the temp rises all the way up to about 95/100 (at that point i turn the car off) 
    even when its a cold night and i am doing a steady 100kmph (which used to hold 80-85 even with no fans on)

     

    The only possibility's i can think of is 

     

    A: somehow the thermostat isn't opening 

     

    B: The new water pump isn't circulating properly.

    ---EDIT--- 

     

    C: Maybe ignition timing or Gas Mixtures?  

     

     

    car is running an Au rad / Fans and a thermo fan controller

    the thermostat is a cold one.. as the car is straight gas. Thermostat is i think an 75 degree?

    I just put a new water pump in it less that 1000ks ago

    I can set the fans to come on anywhere between 20 and 100 degrees

    Hey mate i have heard that AU injectors in an E series (my car is an ED) . produces better fuel econ and power? because of the better spray pattern?

     

    Is this true ? would Ba-fg ones be even better again?

    In the next week or two (car is getting a rwc monday) Im going to order a Chip for my ED . with an EL ecu conversion / bbm / thermo fans .. Can you do a premade tune for an aftermarket camshaft? 

    my email is tomas.tucker@gmail.com

    My advice would be to ditch 4L OHC and go straight to the Barra. They are a much better engine and desinged to be have a turbo in the first place.

    +1 for this

     

     

    Remember that 530HP = 400kw. 

     

    so call that 350rwkw. 

     

    thats a fair hike for a standard 4.0 , even a valve springed Ba engine i wouldn't push that hard

     

    A set of Spool rods and aftermarket pistons, would be the go..

    Physically the 302w efi will drop straight into the XW using Cleveland mounts and pedestals.

     

    If you look up Rawdeal (I think) on here, he has a efi 302 running in his XB.

     

    The only hard part in my opinion is the electrics, but any one with some smarts would sort this quickly.

    If you want to make things simple 

     

    Electric Carby fuel pump (I think holley do a good one that is cheap)

    Carby of your choice (maybe a 650 holley)

    Manifold of your choice (eldebrock do a lot of good ones for the 302w)

    You can keep the original 302efi dizzy

    use a Msd #6530 Ignition box

     

    if you look at my build thread which should be in my signature.. it will show you how to make it run without the standard efi302w aircon pump/powersteering ect

    what are you guys doing about the VSS pickup? that determines the pump pressure after all.... or are you just having it pumping at a constant RPM/pressure?

     

    brings me to a couple of questions, does anyone know what the line pressure is on a standard power steering system?

     

    has anyone removed the internal stops on the stock power steering box? so you can actually get full lock.

    -- its auto on these man, when you need it , it revs up

     

    -- i think rack steering is more.. from memory the older types is 1800 and rack is 3500

     

    -- no i havnt but that sounds awesome

    Well this little project is finished.

     

    Mounted the bracket, fitted the pump, 2 new hoses, high pressure one made by Pirtek.

     

    Very happy with the result, just need to see how the hoses are affected due to the proximity of the extractors.

    I like how you have done the lines, my lines are fully flex , no steel lines , so i have to cable tie the shit outta it so it doesnt touch the engine lol

    I wouldn't be sticking 69cc heads on a 302 Windsor at all, it will drop the comp way down.

     

    Also victor junior heads on a 302 will bog it down something horrid until it gets really high in the rpm.

     

    If you look at the likes of the trick flow 11R heads, one of the best heads for a 302-347 Windsor in most people's price range.

     

    Of course the best head in my opinion for the 302w is the P38 Kaase head.

    it will be a stroker windsor though

     

    The reason i am going Elelbrock is because the stuff uses OEM everything , cant beat that

     

    Should make a bit under 550hp

    PM inbound!

     

    NZXD - $995 for a pair of fronts for my XD.

     

    Not cheap but I figure by the time you buy a set of Konis, plus new springs, plus spring saddle you're getting pretty close to that anyway, and these are fully adjustable and it doesn't matter what engine you run, so if you ever want to change your setup it saves you money in the long run.

     

    600lb spring rate which a couple of people reckon might be a bit soft for an X series. Guess I'll find out in a few weeks. I'd imagine you could ask them to use a stiffer spring if you wanted.

     

     

    That's cheaper than I thought, I'm thinking I might order some.

    That IS cheap! haha even AUS 1000$ is cheap. (USD would make me think twice) Ill be going from windsor to alloy headed windsor.. so that will change the height in normal springs... and im fussy so id want to buy another set of springs again.. so pretty much pays for itself
