Originally posted by maxcooper Mine is still plugged. I moved to California and it never stalled again, so I felt no need to replumb it. Vented = total mess if you track the car, perhaps a mess anyway Plugged = easy, may cause stalling in cold climates Re-plumbed = prevents stalling in cold climates There you have it! The idle is still high on start-up even with the thing plugged. Except it is only 2000-2500 rather than 3000. I recommend plugging it and seeing if you gat stalling. If not, leave it as-is. If it does stall, replumb it. -Max |
Originally posted by SleepR1 Yup. That and a hose clamp. Works like a charm, and no mess @ the track. I don't have idle problems, but I have a Power FC... |
Anyone know if the blocking off the accelerated warm-up system line increases engine temps?

My motor is running 1 degree Celsius higher than before with the AWS line plugged with a 5/8-inch HELP cap. matty, I monitor my water temps with a Power FC Commander like you do. It might be coincidental...the ambient temps have risen here in Indy recently...?

I dunno if you want to order the block off plates from the Rx-7 store, they tent to forget to ship stuff. Like my block-off plates. They were supposed to be here on wed. But they forgot to ship them so now I will have to vent to AWS untill the next time I decide to take off the UIM.

Kd changed my fans to 86. i have stock rad. |
Originally posted by matty are u serious? I monitor my temps constantly (almost to the point of staring at them) and i could never tell if it was one degree higher on avg.

Originally posted by SleepR1 Mine rises to 87, and drops to 86, and then sits @ 86. Used to sit @ 85. I have Koyo and KDR modified my fans to kick on low @ 86 and high @ 87 using an FC datalogit and Power FC... That raises another issue/question....i think dave did the same with mine....86=low and 87= high. That means that we are driving around with our fans on90% of the time..u think that hurts performance...the reason why i ask is that i am going to the strip on sunday. |
Wow, those are some LOW fan settings. I would guess that your fans are almost always on in town driving. It seems a little excessive. I would think regularly keeping the temps under 205-210 F (98-100 C) would be fine.
