Greddy Pulley Kit Installed - Now Running Slightly Warmer
Everyone,
Installed resonated MP about 4 months ago just before Steve Kan tuned the car. So, last week I decided to finally get the airpump out of my engine bay. Running fully modded with stock twins and stock ports at 10 psi max boost (summertime setting) and the radiator and condensor are fully sealed for maximum ducting and airflow.
Installed the Greddy aftermarket pulley kit (large WP and alternator pulleys/w shorter belt) and now the car seems to run about 1 to 2 degrees warmer on my Power FC reading than before when I ran stock pullies. Is this pretty typical? Since the Greddy waterpump pulley is larger than stock I understand that it slows down the pump, so would higher rpms help to increase waterpump flow and bring temps down? Just curious. I know the main reason for a pulley kit is to slow down the pump at higher RPMs for less pump cavitation, but are slightly higher water temps under normal driving conditions just something that I'm gonna have to learn to live with?
Just curious. BTW, I live in Phoenix AZ where daytime ambient temps this time of year are currently in the 105 to 108F range.
Thanks in advance for your observations!

Thanks Kinetic. Hope you can make it up from San Diego to SS9 end of October. I followed your Vmount fabrication closely and would love to see it in person.
Fdeeznuts: Good luck getting her together. Hope to see you in late October for a Friday run into LA
