Over heating: 5s-gte, even while granny driving Options

[Mstoochn]

so over the past few days I've put my creation thru its paces... but im running into overheating issues, even at start up.
at cold start, the guage will keep climbing past the half way point and the electric fans turn on as well.
Living in canada is **** ing cold so I dont see what is going on.

I take the freeway to work and only stop at 2 traffic lights, 22-25 minutes to work. by the time i get there driving at a granny pace (NO BOOST) the guage has peaked just under the top of the guage.

Oil, Coolant level is normal and the thermostat is brand new after i stomped on the original 5s-fe one. No leaks!

When i got this engine running as a 5s-ge is never had this problem (I put 600kms on it in One day@ regular operating temp) and remember, I rarely boost it going to work now thats its turbo'd.

Advice? quesiton me if u need more info regarding this situation.

really? are you guys not seeing what is wrong?? not the thermostat... its the temperature sensor... the fans operate off of it, as well as the gauge.... its reading the wrong temp... replace the sensor

or reconfigure your EMS

wtf??when driving down the road the fans arent doing anything..the fans dont kick on unless its really hott or on idle...Tooch,check ur thermastat(make sure its not backwards),doubt its HG..So the 5sge was fine?but the 5sgte is overheating??What did u change when u turboed??
