Coolant Disappearing

I'd vote koyo/robispec. Seeing a lot of people with quality issues on the Mishimoto setup.

Yea did some more research someone on here recently also had a problem with a mishimoto oil cooler exploding all over there engine bay, and they went to go look at it and it looked perfectly normal just kept spitting oil all over the place.

High compression engines run slightly cooler. That's where the extra power comes from, more thermally efficient.

Coolant temperature should be as high as possible while still protecting the engine. Coolant temperature won't affect evaporation much, its when the system cools down that the dry air is drawn in which might cause evaporation.

I already have the Robispec setup, just haven't been able to install it because I'm still waiting for the oil lines and sandwich plate.

If he is, he didn't send one to me.

@SkullWorks manufacturers those for Robispec, I believe.

Yea, the last update I have from Robispec was at the beginning of August when he said he's going to send them to me by 86Fest. I ordered everything two months ago yesterday.

But now this is beginning to get off topic.

This is true,

We haven't completed our outstanding orders with Robi yet, We are working to get another batch in his hands early this week.

Just so that those who *think* they have a similar issue, I just checked my coolant level at cold (sitting overnight for 8+ hours in my garage) and it was about 1" above the low line, now I normally check it when it is warm/hot as the case may be and I am normally sitting about 1" below the high line. I am not having issues with losing coolant at this time. The temperature range that the coolant experiences and the amount of volume of the reservoir where we can see coolant levels have A LOT of room for change of volume. I just wanted to lend creedence to what @King Tut was saying. I hope the OP has had luck getting all the issues he's been experiencing resolved. Have a nice day/

With all this talk about coolant levels checked mine today before and after long drive. I have never added any. 6900 miles. Cold it was 1 inch above low mark. After 3 hr drive, 1 inch below the high mark.

That's normal, fluid expands when hot. If you want to check it, check it when its always cold so its an accurate reading.
