Hi, I.ve put a 12a turbo in my car and can someone advise me on what the correct water tempeture it should be running at? also oil temp and pressure?



Thanks,

Liam.

dont have the converter in front of me, but the water temp should be between 75-85Celcius, oil should be about the same.



oil pressure should be over 20psi at idle, and over 50psi at more than 3000rpms.

Thanks,

At the moment it's running between 80 & 95 c, a bit hotter than you recomend. My car has is a Eureka and has the 12AT at the rear with the radiator up the front,which can create air locks in the piping.

I don't have an oil temp gauge yet but the oil pressure's at around 60psi



Cheers!

forgot to mention, 110C is the max temp, anything higher than that, and you get to shop for rebuild parts.



so 95 is "ok" not ideal, but you're not really hurting it either.



if you're using a stock oil cooler, the temps should be fine as long as the cooler is getting good air flow, they are sized well
