Lately I've noticed I've been running kind of hot. I used to run around 83-85 but that has risen to 85-87. Then the yesterday day I was doing a little carving(not too hard really) and noticed I had shot up to 95 It stayed there till I got on a straight away. Then dropped to 86 after a couple of minutes.



Is this normal? Can I stop or prevent it?



I have an AST, Fluidyne and I just had the radiator flushed and put in about 3/4 bottle of wetter. The guy who had the car before me did some kind of mod with the fans where the wires run to a thermostat under the hood.

 

maybe its just warmer outside? its only 2 degrees

is the radiator in the stock location, or do you have a FMIC?

 

if the thermostat is under the hood it just may be becaus it is spring afterall. . Just a thought

 

what??^^^

 

normal...

 

Yeah I thought about the change in weather but the temps were lower last summer. Besides it's not the cruising temps that worry me it was the **** jumping to 95c



Radiator is in the stock location. With stock intercooler.



So if these temps are normal:

a) Is there a way to bring them down?



b) When should I start to worry?

 

95c-----------------NO PROBLEM



I go to 100c sometimes on hard driving. Start to worry a little

when that bad boy goes to 110c, but then its still ok, just start

to watch it then

 

Normally you run 83-85C???????? That must be nice....



I havent gotten that on any motor stock or all out done up

 

mine is usually around 87c, almost no matter the driving. i was also a little freaked out about the temps one day when it rose to 98c for a few minutes, under LOW stress conditions! i got freaked out again when my friends told me water boils at like 100c or something (i dunno if they're right, im not a scientist, nor are they), but i dont care, car runs fine and temps dropped back to my normal range.
