I have an s13 with an rb25 completely stock other than a Fmic and exhaust. The motor runs amazing! I can drive it on the street and it never gets hot. I have a mishimoto radiator with 2 pusher fans and 1 puller fan. Every event I run without a bumper and without a hood. After every run it shoots up to 210 so I have to let it sit for a while. What is everybody doing to keep there rbs cool? Also I'm running an oil cooler as well thanks for any info

Hmm, odd that you would still heat up with an oil cooler. Maybe the 2 pushers AND having a puller might be blocking the airflow too much?

Maybe I'm just lookin for some solutions haha the motor runs amazing I just hate that I can't get more than one run in before it starts overheating

Same issue here. I have an Isis radiator with 2 12" pullers and I have to let it sit after each run. It starts to creep up around 220* almost every time without failure..... I have hood propped in the back and holes in the bumper. Will an oil cooler help out in a huge way? Also you have to have that stud for an adapter plate on a 25 correct?

Sorry to thread jack.
