Hey guys, I am curious as to where should the engine temp be running at. My temp is either one bar under 100c or on 100c. Is this normal? Where is everyone else's temps at?

My car started doing this aswell. use to always be at or around 80C, now always at or above 100C. Here comes IC pump #4... Getting annoying

JuanMR

I hate it. I have a Johnson. So it went away when you changed your first ic pump?

cal1

Hey bro, just a heads up. We don't talk about our Johnsons around here. We all get teased that we drive fast cars because of the size of our Johnsons so it is kind of a sore subject.

FT-Performance

Our car never goes over 195 Deg F.

JuanMR

Is that so. I apologize, but I sorta don't get it. First time i hear that, can you explain?

JuanMR

So I'am definitely running hot huh? My car is always on 100c or a bar under. What do you think this could be? Thermostat or my i/c pump?

FT-Performance

Check T stat, It's always good to replace. You can also do the -10c mod with star to turn the fan on earlier keeping temps lower.

JuanMR

By T stat you mean thermostat right? How would I know if it's bad? Also, everytime I drive around and park, I put my hand on the h/e and its hot. Normal?

cal1

No apology necessary my friend. It was just a stupid attempt at a joke on my part. Like FT-performance said, I would check to make sure your T-stat is opening properly. I can tell you my engine temp never gets over 90C and as soon as I get some speed up and air across the radiator, the temp drops to about 82c. I am running a secondary HE that is not isolated so my engine temps might run a little cooler than some.

JuanMR

Oh, lol. Well, I would deff look into this then. I have read that other guys have installed a lower temp T, is this beneficial? I was thinking of adding another h/e to the upgraded one I already have, so I guess it works out fine, right? Would the dealer do the -10 mod?

I know I'am asking a lot, just got this car about 3 months ago, still learning it.

desired_speeds

mine sits at around 90C and on the freeway it drops to maybe 85C.

Not true. Through datalogging I regularly see temps above 195F on hot days. New TStat and coolant flush recently. Oh, and an IC pump isn't going to change your ECT's.

I would like to find someone with Star however, need to make a few changes including the -10 mod

Ok this is interesting , something I was wondering about, if the cooling system
is not split , then changing or upgrading the IC pump , will or not not have an effect on the Engine Coolant Temp ? what about if the cooling system was split ?

Might want to check out calcium deposits on your coolant lines
Do a rad flush to get all contaminants out

JuanMR

I was thinking about doing a flush, see how that goes. But it has been very hot here, around high 90's and low 100's. I guess i'll wait until amb temp starts to drop and monitor it.

chawkins2001

When it was 107* F here a couple weeks ago, my EGT's ranged from 195-200* F. Typically they sit between 180-190* and I am on the stock T Stat.

maxwerks

The proper flush on my NA M113 had to flush the coolant from the heater core also to do it right , what about the S/C M113 , ifthe system is not split , wouldnt the coolant in the SC cooling part need to be also flushed? As in not just draining the radiator

When I changed my pump last time, I noticed a drop in engine temps. And it felt like I bought a new car.. Great deal of difference. BTW, very easy to switch out if you have a lift, although do-able in the drive way with some jack stands.



What does this have to do with
