hey guys i got a power fc on my r33. i was just wondering if my power fc reads a temp of over 90 after a while of driving should i be worried? the temperatire needle is always on half way so it seems ok there, but just wondering what should the average reading of the water temp on the power fc be.

cheers

Hmmm... How high over 90? 99 or 91?

There is a bit difference between the two. :)

If its 90/91 i wouldnt be worried, depends on other factors aswell.

Cruising 100km/h is it the same?

Is it only that temp in peak hour traffic?

Bit more info dude, but it sounds ok at this stage.

don't worry its nothing

my old man's corvette gets up to 110deg in traffic before the fan comes on

remember the water is under pressure so it boils at a much higher temperature than normal water. plus there's the anti-boil added that should assist even further..

The thermostat is 82 deg C??? On the street my handset say about 82-85. So for potting around the thermostat isnt cracking???? Or should i be checking that mine is ajmmed open. Because my temps sit so low on the street, i normally pull the pin at the track when the temp gets to around 90-95 (depends how much lomger the session is and how hot ther dy is etc if i push past 93 etc

82-85 on the street is A-OK Roy. The temp sender may not be accurate to the degree but most engine temps sit at or just above the thermostat temp. On hotter summer days it'll be 5-10C higher than the thermostat temp. Normally a thermostat will close roughly 5C lower than its set temperature.

Also I think high 90s is OK for the track. I'd probably think about pullin the plug when its more like 110C? Remember with a proper cap + coolant it wont boil until 120C.

Cool

Roy,

I think the other dude meant to say the 'R34' thermostat begins to open at 82degree's.

The R32/R33 on the other hand begins at 76degree's.

If the thermostat is genuine or not also depicts the cars operating temperature and how quickly the thermostat opens completely. The genuine opens slow and by little amounts until its nice and hot. This results in a slightly warmer running temp with less fluctuations and a considerably quicker warmup.

The aftermarkets (supercrap autostores etc) open wide and really quickly, the aftermarkets also take ages for the car to reach operating temp from a cold start. On my sisters VL it would tend to run hotter under consistent load with the aftermarket but run cooler just pottering around, in the R32 I haven't seen this problem, it simply ran cool all the time; all though I didn't get to 'really' test it out in hot weather. I dropped the genuine thermostat in the VL as it ran much better and wouldn't over heat when giving it a boot full up willunga hill.

Both genuine and aftermarkets are rated to 76.5degree's.

(I sound like a record) I recently said the same in another thread. :(

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
