i did a search, i think i found that 90-95 is somewhat normal around town on hot days or on the road. but nothing definative. i ran about 190 to just ubder 200 on a highway drive (F). the pfc said 93 or so, it would go up as speed increased, but never over 96*c. id just like to get some insight on this. thanks,

You do not have a problem

 

You can find someone with a datalogit to turn your fans on sooner or do like I'm doing until I do that--turn on the A/C and keep your temp selector and air speed selector where ever you want...The A/C switch kicks the fans on and your car should run around 82-85C...But your temps are ok but I like them to stay around 80-90C!

 

thats coo. im not used to turbo motors running this hot. this is my first rotory and i dont want to EFFF it up.

 

As of now you're fine. The thermostat isn't even full open until 95C.

Of course things will get worse when it gets warmer out.

 

Mine has a 2nd gen thermoswitch and hits 210 from time to time - that's about when the fans kick on and drive the temps down to 180. I have a stock rad, too.

Those seem fine to me.

Right now in this cool weather (today was 43 degrees), i tried boosting about 2 or 3 times and my temp gauge wouldnt even budge 170F. However when i shut down, it rose of course. But even in the summer, with the FMIC, my gauge wouldnt break 200F unless i boosted.

 

do a search on ducting the radiator. it will change your driving temps significantly during the summer.

 

I drove up to York, Pa yesterday from DC to break in the new motor, I have a new Koyo installed, and the hottest it ever got was 84 C, mainly stayed at 83C and didn't move.

With the stocker rad, it normally ran about 95-98C
