i was just wondering if anyone knew what temp. your car is sopose to run at i have a s4 t11 my stock gauge dont work so just wondering thanks...

 

185-190

 

I see anywhere from 150 to 210 F oil temp depending on outside air temps and how hard I'm running the car. Water temps will be similar.

 

so if my car is running at 200-210 is that too hot?(im not driving hard at all)

 

Theremostat temp is 84 degrees if you have the correct thermostat installed.

 

i do but what i did was cut out the middle of it so its always open but at the same time its not flowing to much to wear it doesnt stay in the radiator long enogh to get cool cause its passing thorugh to fast

 

Replace the thermostat. Cutting the center out of it breaks the thermostat. It can't regulate engine temp and the bypass hole is no longer plugged. It's doing nothing for you but wasting fuel and fouling your plugs.

 

why would you take out the t-stat?

are you running all the shrouds (under tray/upper rad. shroud/rad shroud)?

 

ok ill replace it thanks man my uncle told me to cut it so i just did it idk haha (dumb)

 

Yeah, even on a full race FC thermostat is usually a good thing to have, as for your temp anything over 190 steals power to heat, in the 200's you start getting into potential damage.
