new radiator installed ^.^ ~

Just right after i went to tune my engine to make mango sing better, i notice that my water temp went up till around 100 when idlling for more than 15 minutes. for i already had 2 experience with radiator problem, so i quickly went to my McguyVer  to check up what's the problem. and he say maybe the fan for the radiator is too small+slow. so i left mango for him and he will find him a better radiator and fan. 

and after a few days of search, McGuyVer manage to get his hand on a 3-layer dual speed radiator with fan.

see the size of the fan's motor. and the size of the radiator is slightly bigger as well.
that's what we were talking about ^.^ 3-layer versus 1 layer.
install new radiator rack, the original piece is all worn and "torn".
new rack mount~ lol~ home made style.
McGuyVer change the piping to new one as well, he just can't bare with the old rusty pipe which Uncle Choi's worker install for me when drop in the 20V. 

after installed with 3 bottle of Toyota Coolant, and 3.5L of water! (it's a BIG-A** water tank) water temp was well keep below 90 degree Celsius,  and yet, we discover the water-valve is not working properly, the water temp will drop well below 70 degree when cruising at normal RPM. more thing to do T_T...

changing the air intake box now, re-do all the wiring in the cabin, and wait for my special rust-convert chemical to arrive to coat the mango's frame to slow down the rusting process.
