Ceejay29 Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 Does anybody else find that their zed chucks out a lot of heat? The temperature gauge confirms that there is nothing to worry about; it’s not overheating. Although when I lift the bonnet it is super hot! Wondering if a performance rad and shroud kit would help.

G1en Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 Yep, its an inherent by-product of a big engine crammed into a "small" space. Mine gets ridiculously hot. I have a Mishimoto Rad (although many say this is worse than OEM) and mishimoto oil cooler. Temp gauge has never been above midway even on track but even after just a short drive you can open the bonnet and cook your breakfast on the engine if you wanted. Remember I had the car in the garage once after a long drive, left the bonnet up to help it cool down, I was down to my undies after 10 mins it was that warm in garage due to engine heat. I think a vented bonnet would def help get rid of some of the heat build up. 1 Quote
Ceejay29 Posted May 13, 2018 Author Posted May 13, 2018 I find it slightly concerning. Worse than OEM, surely not?! Do you have the fan/shrouds also? Quote
G1en Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Still on oem fans, like i put, i have had no issues with mishi rad, def does the job as it gets lava grade hot but that adds more heat into engine bay, at least its not inside the engine is my view. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 VQ35DE Mishimoto fans work although a tad noisy. VQ35DE Mishimoto rads, should be avoided. If you think that NA is hot below the bonnet then you should try a couple of turbos: 1 1 Quote
wizard Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 What rad have you got Alex? Need to swap out my mishimoto Quote
ZMANALEX Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Koyo, but I would have to check the thickness as I can't remember. 1 Quote
