when driving what are your water and air temps at normal driving and WOT? in the day and night if you know... and if you know what the temp is outside

just curious to see what you people get

 

My water temp is at 180, oil temp is 130, outside is about 70 degrees

 

If that's F, you need a thermostat. If C, a better oil cooler.

 

lol.. im. whell this is for more with people with pfc.. but all i really would like to know is the water and air temps

 

Don't know air temps, but my water temps stayed steady at 180 F just cruising around. During spirited driving the water temps climb to about 200-210 F. On some really hot days (>90F ambient) I see it climb a bit higher and I usually back off if it gets to 220F.

This is with a PWR aluminum radiator.

 

I took my recently rebuilt engine out for a trip to the shops, when travelling down the motorway (freeway) water temp was a constant 83 Degrees C, with intake temperatures of 39 Degrees C. Then got stuck in some major non-moving traffic for the next four miles, so switched on the airconditioning, an hour later of crawling traffic and my water temp was still at 83 Degrees C, with intake temperatures of 68 Degrees C. I was quite impressed considering I did start to worry abit when I saw the traffic que!

Mine's basically standard 94 with street port, koyo rad, ali ast, apexi airfilters, catback exhaust and powerFC.

(Note the above was with an unmapped motor @ around 800 miles of running in).

 

When driving my FD in the city in summer, it reaches max temp of 96 degress celious.. thats all stop and go etc.. on the high way it sits at about 85 dc... my FD is completey stock besides airfilters and exhaust.

 

its going to vary car to car according to the radiator and intercooler setup and overall condition of the car's cooling system.

 

if i drive normally no boosting.. i have 89 water temp and air temp around 37-40s..

i was driving on a normal day in florida and was trying to keep up with a single turbo 7 (no luck lol) and my temps got up to 98 water, no big deal but air temps went around high 60s....
