After reading this thread https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/woooooooowww-i-am-lucky-am-i-490566/ I am concern about coolant temperature of my 94.

Normal driving: 180*
Heavy boosting: 185-190*
Sitting in traffic: 200-220*
Fan on @ 220*
Fan off @ 200*
Car rolling: 180*

So far we have a mild fall/winter in Dallas, 82* was ambient temp for yesterday.
Should I be worry with above reading? Attached is a picture where I mounted the water temp sensor...not sure if that has anything to do with high temp reading while car sitting still.

PFC will be install soon, hopefully with a tuned program fans will turn on sooner than 220*.

TIA

 

Ahhh...should have searched first.

Found a good thread on Normal Coolant Temp https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...nt+temperature

Sorry all!

 

Those temps look perfectly normal. I like to turn my fans on when sitting in traffic. Easy fan mod link:

Be sure to turn the switch off before you leave the car. If you leave it on, your battery will run down (or be dead) overnight.

 

Terific...Thanks!

 

If you do this, the fans will turn on sooner:

I'll second that. After installing the new FC thermoswitch, the fans now come on around 195 to 200 degrees. Great upgrade.

 

Thanks!!!!!!!

You guys are awesome!

 

No they don't. They will come on at 210. Still a great upgrade.
