OK today I had a pinhole leak in my upper radiator hose and lost lots of coolant. Replaced the hose and everythings good in regards to no leaks or anything. Problem is the car still keeps going up to 105º before I turn the car off for safety. I accidently poured half a gallon of non-diluted antifreeze in the car and was only able to put about a quarter gallon of water in afterwards so its not 50/50 right now. The car isnt leaking anywhere anymore and I've topped it off twice so far after letting it run to 105º and its still running too hot. I have an aluminum AST already and I have the TB coolant lines deleted already, everything else is stock in the coolant system. Any suggestions or do you guys think I just need to keep burping it some more?

Also, something that has been annoying me alot recently. I'm always hearing rushing water under the passenger side of the car while driving. Anyone know WTF that sound is?? The car didnt make that noise before it was off the road for 4 months and had the full NS conversion done but ever since getting it back on the road it makes a loud water rushing type sound. When I rev it gets louder.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. As you guys can see I dont have many posts because I always search for my answers but these I cant find really, especially the last question.

I suggest you dump your coolant and start with a proper mix of anitfreeze/ distilled water. also note that it is a major pain in the *** to get the bubbles out of the system.
1. You must first fill the overflow tank to the full line on the crumby dipstick.
2. You then top up the AST. Once this is done put the cap on.
3. You must then fill the waterpump mounted filler to the top. Keep the cap off and proceed to step 4.
4. Start your engine and turn on the heater. Monitor the waterpump filler (make sure your car is not really running hot!) I place my hand over the filler and squeeze the upper coolant line tring to get out any air bubbles. Add premixed coolant as necessary.
5. Once you have limited loss in your waterpump filler shut off the car and let it cool.
(Note if your level drops to low a sensor will trigger an annoying alarm to fill it at start up the next time you start your vehicle.) If this happens remove the waterpump filler cap and fill it to the top. You should recheck until fluid level stabilizes (could take a week. depending how much you drive your car.)

As to the other issue. only thing under passenger side of car is the exhaust. Suggest you look for manifold/exhaust leaks.

Bring me the car and I'll set it straight. Most likely you have an air pocket, but it could be a partially stuck thermostat, or problem with the fans.

Check to make sure both your fans are working. I had similar problem, when one of my fans were out. Temp would get up to 105 deg after 20 minutes of driving. Once I replaced the non-working fan, my temps went back down to low 90's.

The car was just being stubborn, it just needed to be burped some more. Car is running fine now and maintaining a 88º-94º reading at all times, even in the 92º NYC April sun.

Thanks to everyone who helped out with suggestions.
