I just want to post my temps reading for other to compare / comment / etc
FD3S JDM , R1 ( Dual Oil stocl oil cooler ) simplified ( 3 solenoids ) sequential ,ported wastegate , 3" D/P , M/P , stock muffler , ported wastegate , AST Removed ( running FC Nippled neck ) , stock intercooler , 30% Anitifireeze , 70% Water . Stock ECU . non vented hood , non ducted rad /inter cooler / oil cooler . , stock thermostat , stock thermo-switch , A/C , no power steering , no lines , no pump .
Highway crusing ( 120 km/h , 25-30 C. Outside , 5th at 3K RPM ) a/c on/off same thing. reading on Prosport Metric electric gauges
Oil Temp( @filter ) : 60-70 Celsisus
Water ( at front iron exit , inside water pump housing ) : 70-78 Ceslius ,
EGT( tapped at turbo exit , 1" B4 Downpipe) : 600-650 Celsius.
Highway beating ( <280 km/h , 25-30 C. Outside , 3rd-4th-abit of 5th )
Oil Temp( @filter ) : 80 Celsisus
Water ( at front iron exit , inside water pump housing ) : 80-85 Ceslius ,
EGT( tapped at turbo exit , 1" B4 Downpipe) : 700-<800 Celsius.
Traffic , stuck in the sun ( <15 km/h , 25-30 C. Outside , 1st gear) afer 10-20 mins
Oil Temp( @filter ) : 90-100 Celsisus
Water ( at front iron exit , inside water pump housing ) : 90-95Celsius
EGT( tapped at turbo exit , 1" B4 Downpipe) : 500-550 Celsius.
City cruising , stop and go, city spriting ( <100 km/h , 25-30 C. Outside , 1-2-3-4 )
Oil Temp( @filter ) : 80-90 Celsisus
Water ( at front iron exit , inside water pump housing ) : 80-85 Ceslius ,
EGT( tapped at turbo exit , 1" B4 Downpipe) : 580-650 Celsius.
so .. here they are

Seems like all your readings are great except your sitting in traffic. While in traffic I usually sit at 85C per PowerFC. I'm about the same as you in everything else though
While this thread didn't get alot of responses, it seems like operating temps are discussed quite a bit. If it hasn't already been done by a previous owner, seems like almost everyone installs an aftermarket gauge to compensate for the OEM unit. Either coolant temps or oil temps...or both. Add to that the threads discussing larger radiators, appropriate coolant/water mix, fan mods, ducting, retro-installed dual oil coolers...or just the cooling system in general. That makes me think that most owners are pretty conscious of temps.
There are alot of variables as to what's "normal" across the board for the FD. But I suspect that most owners do monitor temps and are aware of what's "normal" for their car.

I agree. I always wanted to see something like this.
My temps in traffic can get really bad. I usually have my AC running. One time I was sitting in traffic for 2 hours and my air temps got to 99. I immediately turned to a side road and drove a bit to run air through the car with no boosting.
