my car is a superformance #1837 with a 408w and the following:
fuel injection
stock rad with a 2300 cfm flex lite pusher fan ( i can't find anything larger that will fit. the intercooler is behind the rad so i am stuck with a pusher)
intercooled 93mm garrett turbo
fast management
93 lb injectors
running 5 lbs boost on the street (i have dynoed with 25 lbs and intercooler way too much for the street)
crower cam profiled for this set-up
4 bolt main
ke pistons
ferria valves
tfs heads ported
centerforce
tremec t56
idle 20 degrees advance over 2500 36 degrees
sorry about all the info but all goes into the equation
at issue is my operating temps are going up to about 220 degrees f. 105C. i have been driving around town and this seems to be where the temp is going to be. i have tried 50/50
antifreeze and i am now using 25/75 with a bottle of water wetter. i don't get boil over. on the road the temp hovers around 205f. incidentally at 55 in 6th the tack reads 1300 rpm.
oil temp eventually matches coolant temp. fuel pressure and
oil pressure stay in the green. i haven't pushed the car during daytime summer heat around here 90+ with 85% humidity. should i be concerned about these temps as i am close to max recommended operating temp or do some of you also operate at these levels?
engine temp how high is "normal"
Threaded Mode
