Re: Still get overtemp no SC with Code 3 pulley and new johnson pump
You are correct, if the pulley was stuck you would still have the power. It is a heat related problem.
Woody has me flushing out my HE circuit this weekend (he told me to do it). I will complete that task and post my results after I go drive the hell out of the car.
PLEASE, PLEASE be the solution! If not I'm prepared to upgrade my HE system.
An email to Code 3 elicited this response:
"Cooling issues have plagued the 3.2l sc engine since 2002. Remember, we have been modding this engines for quite some time. For years, people didnt understand how there upgraded C32 would lose to cars they shouldnt be in races. The problem was simple, heat soak was shutting the SC off, or causing it to pull a tremendous amount of timing because of the heat, which decreases power. The stock cooling system is not adequate at all to run ANY upgraded boost. When I started developing parts for the C32 two years ago, the first mod I designed was an upgraded HE. The johnson pump on its own will not help much. Even though it flows 50% more than the stock pump, most of it is getting backed up on the inlet side of the intercooler (under the SC), as it flows very poorly. Quite simply, an upgraded HE is one of the first mods I recommend to customers."
Sounds like you may be experiencing power fluctuations due to timing being pulled because of temp increases. Stay tuned!
