what are safe temps to be running at? ive got a stock gauge that never goes above half, a water temp, and oil temp. all my gauges read in celcius and its all greek to me. if im running the car hard, at what temp should i stop? i noticed that for daily driving the temps pretty much stay the same but once i start boosting they start to climb really fast. last time i did a few laps at the track the belts started squealing like there was no tommorow. dont know if that had anything to do with the temps either. once i let the car cool for a few minutes it drove home fine.

normal water temps should be around 180-210F. oil from 160-190F

MAX would be around 240F water, and 210 oil. that is getting to "oh ****".

160F=71C
180 = 82
190=88
210 = 99
240 = 115

With the stock Thermostat opening up at 180F (82C), normal drivng temps should not surpass 185F.

Oil temps should never exceed 210F.

Converting Farenheit to Celcius
ie. 350F to Celcius

=5/9 [(F) - 32]
=5/9 [350 - 32]
=5/9 x 318
=177C

Converting Celcius to Farhenheit
Use this equation In alternate form

(F)=5/9t (C) + 32]
