do they fire when the AC is turned on? they are supposed to.
I assume you have the 2 fans, one in front, one in back? If so, that's the heavy duty fan system.
With what you have, it sounds like the fans are my #1 blame at this time. Check the relays and hope.
I don't remember where the relays are on the 89... Matatk should chime in with that info.
Also, remove that 160stat, it won't fix this problem at all. In fact, it will make it worse.
Finally, check to be sure the rad is clear of debris, that will really kill it.
Fans were my first thought. The fan kicks on with with the AC as you would expect. I'm considering the higher volume fan but not sure it will help all that much. Not sure if I could get the dual fan set-up with all the supercharger plumbing, but . . .
No, I don't have the auxilary fan. Was checking into adding one but don't think it'll fit with the intercooler there also.
160stat will make it worse? Why?
I haven't found any debris around the radiator, looks clean as a whistle.
