hi there i was wondering what water temp is too hot for an FD (as read off the commander) a friend of mine says if u see 100 pull over and pop hood to cool down......also how much of a difference will one notice with a fluidyne vs. stock mods: Int/ DP/ MP/ exaust

 

The common overheat danger number is 230F or as seen on the commander 110c. I have seen some say higher and lower. Unless you have a datalogit your fans turn on at 100c.

 

Datalogit rocks!

 

Yep it's freaking awesome. I'll cruise around at 86 celsius. If I go do some hard runs, It'll creep to 91-93 range...then I turn my A/C on(NO A/C in my FD) and I can get my temps down to 78 Celsius!

 

I don't have a datalogit, but my fans come on at 95 degrees celsius, and my car stays in the 90 to 95 range on hot days.

 

mine hits 100 c all the time. Just making it tothe top of the Santa Cruz mountains will raise my temps to about 104 or so. I've got a radiator upgrade. After I shut off the car and restart it like 10-15 minutes later, the p-fc frequently reads 120-130C. I've been worrying about this all sumer but it's not dead yet and it uses no coolant.

 

I have all the so called reliability mods and the koyo. My temps reach 95 on a cool day and over 106 on a hot day. and your right, when you stop your car it will go up to 125 C which is bad. I believe that most of the damage to the car is done when the car is turned off. You have two options, I use them both. When I get home for the day I don't boost for the last 2 mintues of driving, then I idle for 30 seconds. Every time, without fail I open my hood to help it cool sooner. Now the best thing I have found is this industrial fan I bought at homedepot. I set it directly on my engine (above the airbox) and run it on high. Its a 30 inch fan. When I do this, the temps do NOT increase from what you stopped the car at, they will set at that # for about 3 minutes and decline. within 10 minutes I am at 75 C. I may be extreme but Hey..it works for me.
