  VQ30 engine cooling 2:13 PM 10/21/2007

I have a VQ30 engine Twin Turbo, at 12 psi making around 450 hp.
I am blowing out the water at high RPM, 5-6K
I removed the stock thermostat for flow. but I am pushing out the water.
I have a Ron Davis radiator.
Does any one have a race setup for the engine cooling system?
Thanks

You definately have a blown head gasket. Switch to copper, and if that doesnt work, go old school and ring the sleeves with the copper h/gskt. You may even be moving the sleeves around a bit with that boost level, Im not sure. Sounds like you need a custom block for reliability.

How'd you go? I'm going to be setting the VQ30det i have up with twins and hoping to run 1 bar / 14psi... i'd rather not have the same issues if i can help it.

Old school method is aluminium paint between the head and the block... thats your gasket :p

I dont recomend it, but it's been known to work. I would suggest replacing all the bolts.
