Im having a few problems keeping the beast cool. When driving around normally, including a 35 degree day like today, im sitting on around 90-93 degrees celcius. When i stop at lights etc. then 16" thermo cant seem to pull the temp down very well, it usually remains steady. That means that if i give it a light flogging the temp will get up to around 99 degrees celcius, then if i pull up it will remain at that temperature. To get the temp back to 90-93 I have drive the car around normally.
When the car was being tuned today the temp keep on getting up to 99, bearing in mind it was 35 ambient, and the tuner was getting worried. Is this pretty normal fo a 1J? Is it nothing for the tuner to worry about? The only problem is the overflow bottle starts to spit out water at 99, im running a 16 psi cap.
So would a TRD thermostat help in anyway? If so where could i get one preferable in Perth or Australia  . Comments and experiences much appreciated.
BTW it was making 200 rwhp by 4000 rpm, at which point the ignition began to break down. It would appear the standard igntition module and haltech cant handle it, so im switching to haltech igniters. Looks like I will be expecting 300+ rwhp
