Cooling issues

[Vigri]

I have some cooling issues with my Maserati 222 SR. It starts overheating when I
drive on track days. When I drive in city or on highway there are no problems,
as I have never got water temperature over 90 °C but usually it's around 80 °C.
When I go to track, it quickly rises over 90 °C up to 120 °C. I replaced the
radiator with a custom made, but it didn't solve the problem.
I have heard that overheating has been a problem for Biturbo's. Any ideas how to
solve this problem?

Hi Vigri and wecome, to the forum , Might be worth replacing the fan temp sensor , it is possible now to buy fan temp sensors that have a variable rheostat that you can place and operate from inside the car , you could have it set for 80 on the track and 90 for normal use, also have you got the correct thermostat in and if so is it working correctly hope this helps

Mike Roberts has one so he is definitely the man you need to speak to. Send him a Pm, and welcome.

Fan sensors are ok, because fans switch on like they should.
