What temps do you run?

[quickstang_1994]

Here outside temp are already in the 90's. The car is running around 210 with a/c running and 1hr-1.5hr for mix driving city and interstate. Does this sound about right?

 

[1997gtRioRed]

about 215 with ac on, doing about 45 for an hour or so

 

[rz5.0]

that's optimum operating tempt for a sn95 if i remember correctly

 

[quickstang_1994]

i am use to really only having the car at the track and cruise ins which are normally at night so it runs around 180 -190 but i just got everything back the way it should be so i am kind of worried and dont want to break anything else

180* if it hits above 180 I flick on the fan to for a second

 

[quickstang_1994]

yeah the fan comes on at 190 so i got iffy when it went to 210 but it stayed there steady though

 

[ttocs]

200-210. Ocasionally the peak reading shows 211 but I have never actually seen that before, just what it says it got up too.

you guys use a different gauge to check temps? with AC on and temps in the high 90s and 100s here my car sits at the M and A on the stock gauge, it worries me. it rode that way for like 2 hours but couldn't shut it off bc I had a female passenger.

btw glad to have you back sir.

 

[quickstang_1994]

its an aftermarket gauge

210 is when my fan turns on automatically. 200-210 is where it runs normally.

I wonder if running lower wuth a manual switch has adverse effects on the ecu. If it wants to be at 210, let it.

I wull say that the stock radiator sucks and is maybe adequate for street driving. On track, an aftermarket big radiator is for sure necessary.

Your temps are perfectly normal. I regularly saw higher temps than that here in Phoenix driving on the highway with the A/C on.

 

[Venom351R]

I usually run between 180-190 in mine. I have my fan set to kick on early with the chip

 

[toyman]

With the fan set to come on at High @ 190* my engine runs in the 200-205* most of the time. About 10* higher when the air temp is in the high 80's.

CCRM controls the car 221/fan on & 200/fan off.

+1 Mine runs between the M & A with the AC on and my fan secondary fan on manually. yes I have two fans.

 

[quickstang_1994]

ok thanks, guess i was worried for nothing drove around for a hour or so with no ac and it stayed between 180-190. I just get worried at the 200+ mark

Worry at 230* and be concerned above 235*. The factory high side fan switch is set for 230*F.

I to was wondering about this.my car has a big griffen alum rad in it and it still runs over half way at times.i also thought about adding another fan i could work manually.i have aluminum heads on my car so it worries me for the temps to climb high.
