I say thats pretty good if you are driving in the city with stop and go traffic.



I would watch out not to boost so much when your air is up in the high 60s.

Your coolant temp is damn good though.. Mine hits 90s during city driving.

the 60C was the temp reached after boosting... 13psi

im runnin a 50.50 mix on the coolant.water.. drove to long island from joisey and hit heavy city traffic...

only went up several degrees during those times... wonder how much of an improvement aftermarket ic and rad will conjur up..

your temps are at 85 cuz of the temp change that was set on your pfc, you'd probably see the same temps with a bigger aluminum radiator, but the fans will be doing less work

I can't stress enough how important it is to change the stock radiator over to an aftermarket one ASAP also get out the hydrometer and check the coolant also if you want to go and change the coolant over to 60% water 40% coolant mix it won't hurt for high temps. but change it back when it gets really cold
