Hey guys,

It's starting to get hotter here and I've noticed a weird issue with my sr20det it.

Normally it runs pretty cool, maybe 167f coolant and 185f oil, however recently the temps started going up.

I took the car off the road and replaced the water pump, thermostat, coolant temp sensor and fans.

I drove the car today and on the freeway it was reaching temps of around 200 for coolant and 210 for oil.

Here's the weird thing, I did a pretty big pull, maybe 4th gear to red line, I look down and the temps have dropped right down. Like 40 degrees lower in the coolant and the oil starts to drop down as a result.

Anyone got any idea why it would do that? Now whenever it starts getting hot I do a pull or a skid and it'll start getting cool again!

Any help would be great!
