over heating issues

That temp sensor readout has been changed by the AEM. Normal AP1 goes to 4 at 232, that is similar to my Modifry and I see 4 bars if I let the car sit for a minute or two, it doesn't worry me a bit. I don't see 4 if I am moving, yet (it isn't really hot here and I have not tracked it). If I did I would take note, but not be too concerned as long as it came back down.

Maybe I am wrong, maybe it can't, but his readings don't coincide at all with what an AP1 gauge should. I know the Modifry upgrade has a AEM user specific, so it must do something, but the fact that it has an AEM specific says I could be wrong.

in any case, if the car wasnt overheating before but suddenly is, there is a leak somewhere and air got into the system.
do the billman bleed and see if that helps. i know i had a similar situation where i suddenly hit 4 bars on my ap1 temp gauge after a track day. i managed to melt some of the IM gasket by the water neck and had introduced air into the system. shit happens
another thing you can do is get a pressure tester kit. that helped me locate my leak. just do it in a quiet area and you'll hear the hiss once you pressurizer the system

Mishimoto radiators are total junk sorry. I couldn't track my car with it. Maybe on the street it was fine but on track forget it!
Switched to a dual core (Ian's or I'd suggest C&R either or) and BAM, 175 avg temp on track lap after lap!

I've been running a Mishimoto dual core since 2009. Been boosted since 2011. Upped the boost earlier this year, had a hard track day in 85 degree weather on 10.5lbs of boost. The hottest the car became was 220 (this was already after 3 20+ minute sessions) then cooled down below 200 on the straights.
6 years, 4 track days, countless canyon runs and 50k+ miles later my Mishimoto is still going strong.

I made a thread about this a week or so ago and got answers that some guys are tracking on EBay/Megan/Mishimoto with zero issues. I guess we will see how it works for me, I hit the track next weekend.
