Overheat after...

[I ask good questions]

I got rid of the clutch fan and put some dual altima fans in my car with the stock radiator and a mix of water wetter mixed according to the directions with distilled water. I am still running a bit warm. Its hot as balls around here but I have seen other people run stock radiators too with no problems. Should I replace the thermostat with a new stock one? Maybe its not functioning right. Or should I go ahead and get a nismo thermo? Or any other ideas on what the problem is?

You're running Water Wetter and ONLY distilled water?

You're running Water Wetter and ONLY distilled water?

WW and Water yields the lowest temps as it will have the lowest surface tension. They suggest 15% coolant for street vehicles ( I suggest Prestone Coolant Additive, Water Wetter, and water only) that will not see cold winters. I am stuck in Pennsylvania however and I run 50/50 because if I don't I know it will have a cold snap <-30 and I'll crack the block or sweat the cylinders....

I do need to bleed the system come to think about it. I have been out of town for the past few days. Thanks for the replies. I will replace the thermo while im at it. Ill post up tomorrow and let you guys know.

I bled the system this morning and went for a cruise with the ac on and it was fine. Then later this afternoon it started heating up again... Im just going to run no thermo until the end of the summer. What do you guys think?
