ManwithSupra Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Just wanted to check, as I don't have a normal gauge to show how hot the coolant is but only a readout on my dash what should be the a "normal" temperature readout (In Celsius) Also what would you say the max temp should be? FYI - Hot Idle on mine is around 92'c with Electric fans on. On track its between 90'c and 98'c Edited July 26, 2013 by ManwithSupra (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 90-100 is perfect. I believe above 110 is when things start to get dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossco Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 92 is good at idle. On regular motorway driving I see 85. On more spirited bursts I can see up to 98. I've not seen any temps above 100 since I replaced all my cooling parts a few years back. Thermostat, radiator and water pump all got replaced at the same time. All depends on where you take your temp reading from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 Ah cool, cheers everyone. I have been making a few changes here and there and just wanted to make sure everything was still in line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Mine are between 82-95. I'm running a big PWR rad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Mine are usually 90ish, but can creep up to 95 at standstill, electric fans bring it right back down though. Don't usually see anything over that unless the car has been driven, stopped and started again a few mins later. Never lasts long though.

Chris Wilson Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Sounds OK to me, but whatever it is normally under boost is what it should be mapped to, with a correction factor higher / lower. It's no good dropping water temps drastically without re map. For your usage they sound fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
