I just wrapped up my install of the BBX on my car, I decided to go for a few laps of my neighbourhood.

As I was pulling back into the garage after a few laps, the 'overheating' warning popped up.

I shut down the car, popped the hood.

Left side of the radiator (to the left of the rad cap) the coolant line is cold, to the right of the radiator cap the coolant line is extremely hot to the touch.

During the install I marked where all the coolant and oil lines came off, and I torqued everything to spec.

Can anyone figure out what I may have done wrong?!

Edit: For the record, when I was doing my laps I wasnt pushing my car, I wasnt going up and hitting any boost. I was just doing a few laps to make sure there were no leaks.

 

Ok, Im dumb.
I'll be the first to admit it. I forgot to 'burp' my coolant system after the install. So I had air in the radiator.... FML

 

That'll do it. Hopefully it didnt get too hot before ya shut her down and she got cooled off.

 

No it didnt get too hot....

God I love showing everyone how stupid I am

 

It happens, glad the problem is solved with no damage, that's what's important.

 

Thanks Im glad too. I was worried I ****ed my BBX

 

Enjoy the BBX man, get that thing tuned and post the results!

 

Im scheduled to do some Road tuning with xPRimNT on Sunday.

 

double check for any oil/water leaks before tooning ! say hi to xprimnt for me. post up some results.

 

before I went for a test spin I let the car run for about 10 minutes. Checking everywhere with a flashlight for leaks.
