Your Panel is sick.
This bus should be quarantined.

Give yourself more credit, Panel. Nothing but respect for you and yours. So unique... :agree:

Thanks!
I've actually been putting some miles on it lately, just around town. I do get a few waves and some smiles, even a horn honk or two :) . It is such a blast to tool around in cuz I know it's the only one. :D

Rob, I rode for several hours and it climbed to 210 and stayed there while driving. When I stopped for redlights, it would ease down to 180 until I got back up to speed. I can live with that, this is the temp range the Eco is supposed to operate in... BUT this is fall weather and the days I was out, it was only 75 degrees. Next summer, it may be back to the drawing board :bawling: .

I thought newer engines usually ran upwards of 230? More heat better emissions and such. Maybe sticking a higher pressure cap on your radiator and adding coolant swirl tank could help with your cooling problems. That bus is sick but your bus with a turbo would be downright awesome. Porsche bits are sexy but its also expensive, hard to fix, and difficult to obtain replacment parts. I think the ecotec is a perfect choice with its great power potential (700hp), abundent amount of support from GM, and a normal person can work on it with normal tools. I foten wonder why so many people opt for exotic porsche engines when there are many more practical and powerful engine combinations (with proper persuasion).

Thats nuts. But im a bit disappointed no pictures. Alas your bus too is also quite the awesome. I mean we all wish we had 993 biturbos in our busses, but due to limited budgets and time, well i think its self explanatory.
