Ok, when I'm at normal operating temps, and I pound it... Like a 2nd gear WOT into third... My temps go WAY down... On the stock needle... I'm sure this is good, but does anyone else see that?

Dude, you've got a better chance of getting an accurate water temp reading from some tea leaves than you do with the stock gauge. It's about useless. If you're temps are going down, I'd be concerned. It's probably just the gauge being the p.o.s. that it is.

Well the AM temp gauge is INOP. Sensor took a **** I think... Or it's just shitty... Like my boost gauge. But the stock gauge has actually been ... well sorta helpful... I watch it warm up, and can see when I turn the fans on... It goes down JUST A HAIR... But who knows...

if it's wat temp in a rotary engine there is no f'n way in the world that the temp is going DOWN.
it's going up- way up. rotary engines were designed to explode and that is what your engine is trying to do. tell him vosko- you know what i'm talking about.

It does seem weird to see the temp needle move down, however I don't think it's impossible. I just wonder if anyone else may have seen this before...
My engine isn't going to go. I have a streetable setup, with 10lbs of boost. I seriously doubt I'll see anything pop. And I have 64 on the clock. Glass is half FULL with me baby. Sure, it's normal too see a 7 go downhill at this age, but I take good care of mine and it WILL last. Matter of fact, I've had a PERFECTLY running car for over a year now. Daily driver. Snow, rain, whatever... I even drove it for 1000 miles once, only stopping for gas. Well, and to check the oil!
