with this heat what are your water temps? i'm between 180-190F.

 

mmy temp gauge is in the middle somewhere lol

 

I'm at 1/4 but no A/C and the top down. This is what I look like driving down the street--->

 

i'm a lil over the 1/4 normal...still good. no a/c though :P

 

On the way to the shop today the autometer was reading 190 - 195

 

rite at the midle with ac... is ******* hot as hell. im not taking it out until it cools off... the car will remain in the garage...

 

@ about 1/3 with the ac on, but it sucks on gas for a 12a bridgeport w/ A/C

 

plug the bypass hole below the thermostat and that will do the trick, the engine will run a lot cooler

 

I run at a constant 90 Celsius.
I have no idea what that is in F.

 

90c is 194F. mine gets to 96-max.. sometimes 97, what type of coolent are you running? i want to get it down asmuch as i can.

 

I did the same by plugging the bypass hole with a 19mm freeze plug that cost less than 0.40 cents and i dont go above 180 degrees but then again I also running an E-Fan that spins better than a flexlite BM fan. I also got a Key Composites Group CF Cooling panel that I bought on ebay which helps a lot especially in Florida.

Ebay item number: 280122380414

 

wait whats this freeze plug your talking about?

 

about 1/3 - 3/8s...... a little more then 1/2 driving on the parking lot we call I-95

 

mine barely goes over the c - but i'm not running a thermostat - and have no a/c

 

DAMN, how are u managing that? u sure your gauge is working?

 

am overheating lol

 

gauge works perfectly. only thing wrong with it is my cold starts are a bitch sometimes. but now it's summer so i'm good. as for running no a/c - i'm fine when i'm crusing with with windows and sunroof open

 

Tito, i don't think that is good for the motor to run so cool. Might consider putting the t-stat back in.

Mine runs right in the middle constantly which isnt perfect, but I expect it with the bigger motor.

 

im now at 0 because i cant freakin drive my car .. damn no oil pressure

 

Mine is about 90C = 195F

 

wow you guys have low as hell temps... tonight driving on the highway at 75-80 mph my pfc told me i was at 99 water and 54 air temp... wtf@!!!!@ i need to drill my thermostat... dont know how to take it out or where its located at... also would haveing the a/c on number 1 heat up a lil more?? (gf and hair and bla bla needed the windows up)

 

FD3S2005 the thermostat is inside where the water filler neck is u have to remove that and u cant miss it then just do to any auto part store and buy a plug for it dont remember what size it is.

 

what do you mean a plug? does anyone have any pics i could see..

 

dont have pics, but its a rubber plug with a through the middle which has a bolt and washer on one side and is tighten by either a nut end or a butterfly end that folds closed, sorry for the crappy explanation. but anyone else feel free to explain better.

 

how much is it and how hard is it to put in!?!?!?!
