Hey I was just wondering what kind of water temperatures everyone regularly runs with. Ive searched and looked around on the internet, and cant seem to find anything on it. When Im cruising around town, Im running usually in the low 90s in celsius, and that seems high. If I get spirited with the car, it runs the same temps until I start driving normal again, then it spikes to the upper 90s, ie 98,99 sometimes even 100. Just wanted to make sure Im not killing the car, especially since the weather is warming up. Thanks!

Ive seen my temps up to 220 in traffic on a 100 degree day just putting around, intake temps around 120 but i have short rams

your stock fans are supposed to come on at 88 deg celcius if im correct, and continue running until the temp is down to 85-86, you might have a fan or a thermostat problem. be careful, cuz heat is the rotary's worst enemy.





where are you getting this reading from? where is your sensor ?

You know a lot of people do use imported gauges that read in celcius. I actually prefer the reading in celcius.

This time of year crusing temps in my car show around 88-90c. In the summer it goes up to 95-104c.

Just messin with ya, I was just curious and didnt feel like finding a conversion chart.

actually, the stock fd fans come on high at 105 or 110, so your temp range is normal and fine.



They could be a little cooler but its ok
