My 88 rx7 reaches 1/4 on the temperature gauges when I'm driving.
Sometimes my engine reaches half way on the temperature gauge when I accelerate onto the freeway. How much does your temperature rises when you drive? What does your temperature gauge reads when driving?

no the S4, as long as it doesnt go more then halfway, you are good.
On S5, you cant really tell, theres cold, normal, and overheating, which is why aftermarket gauges are a must for a S5.
Highest normal daily use temp I ever got was 210F, and that was in 100F weather 80mph on the highway with my huge *** intercooler blocking part of the air flow to the radiator.

My last FC hit 240' on the aftermarket temp gauge, but the motor was shot and I was ******* it out so I didn't have to tow it home.
The new FC, S4 of course, never goes over 1/3 *knock on wood*. I've always thought that anything under half is decent, but you want it around 1/3 or so.

on my 88 6 port turbo with the stock fan it would climb to 1/2 then when with a 2 speed elictric fan from the quest minivan and now it stays solid at 1/4 with low speed always on. No matter how hard i push the car. Also it doesnt draw much current from alt either. btw im on stock radiator too

^^^I had the same experience w/the quest fan. When I ran some data logs I found that it would stay between 176-184 when running constantly (not exactly ideal), and unless I was sitting in traffic or ambient temps were above 85*, it didn't really wasn't to break 180. Mind you, this is w/ no combining a/c (condenser still in place).

Most of the time I sit just above the C mark on the gauge. According to my Rtek I run about ~175 - 190. I don't think I went over 190 even at the drags last year, but who knows exactly how accurate my stock temp sensor is anyway.
