Is it normal for my FD to get into the high 90s in stop and go traffic? I do have the stock radiator and a single fan which only comes on at like 100C. The only time it runs in the upper 80s in long highway driving?

little warm, but not terrible. Just as long as that bad

dude stays under 110c. When was the last time to

changed the coolant? Ever thought of getting a fan

mod?

you're temps are basically normal for your car. Mine was around the same, but they did come down when I got the vented hood.

on warm days mine would run in the low to mid 90's in traffic

If you push in the ac button and turn your interior fan on it will kick on the engine fans.

I lost my coolant seals at 60k so I would suggest that if you don't want a bad coolant seal.

You should invest in every cooling mod you can afford.

It's cheaper than an engine. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Ya im looking at the Fluydyne radiator with upgraded fan system. Also, there is a covering under the front of the car that i guess protects the radiator from debris. Ive seen some people take it off so more air gets to the radiator. Is this a good idea? And will the Fludyne radiator fit with the Greddy stock mount IC?

NO!!!!!! Under no circumstances should you remove that underbelly pan. That is there to keep the air ducted so that it runs across the engine.

If you remove that you run a higher probabality of over heating. I would hate to think someone thought that would be a good modification.

I have monitored my water temps closely with and without the underbelly pan(plastic). It actually does help lower water temps...but at cruising. What also helps(if you have a FMIC) is foam between the radiator and the intercooler. You put it there so that air is forced to go thru the radiator and to keep it from recirculating back to the front of the radiator at a stand still.



My lower water temp mods:



PFC with stock fans coming on at 86 C low and 89 C high.

Koyo Radiator

Aluminum AST

plastic underbelly pan

foam up front

vented hood

Single Turbo



All of this and I can rail my car from 1st to 3rd gear over and over and over and won't break open the thermostat. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

Well DAMN!!!





Bet that single turbo made the bulk of the difference!
