Johnny Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Bloody oath boyz, my cars been in the garage for the last few days and im sure over the next few days too since its 40+ installing factory airbox back and possibly a water/methanol spray to keep intake temps down + a higher grade oil *w50 etc drove back from geelong a little while ago when it was 35ish and oil temps went to 90 but didnt move much from there, water temps were 86-88 They really dont like the heat, especially with a front mount. ohhh a little device which has helped is my billion variable fan controller which turns on the aircon fan at a preset temp + can run 1 extra auxillary fan which i may look into asap Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/254294-heat-and-your-turbo-ride/page/4/#findComment-4395918 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeEnAr Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Different story for me today from the other day. Driving into work this morning I had aircon on 20 and got stuck in traffic on the wesgate. Was all the way back to the ring road. I was worried for a bit as the oil temp almost got to the 110 mark, water temp didn't move though (I will take lappy in car tomorrow and run NIStune to check actual temps) then I got to the bridge and saw the cop cars everywhere and the 3 news choppers hovering, this was around 10am. Then I got to work and saw that that wanker threw his 5 yr old daughter off the bridge which is why the traffic was bad and I felt bad cos I was cursing about the heat!!

scotty014 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Mine's about the same if I get stuck in traffic for a while with the air-con on in this heat. I couldn't work out what temp it was, then I realised half way between 70'C and 150'C is about 110'C, which is fine. It's not going to hurt anything. If you see your stock water temp gauge move from it's normal position - then worry. They stay in the normal spot between certain heat ranges, if it moves it outside of normal. thats cool, thanks for that. my water temp never moves from halfway so its fine then. i drive mine without boosting it and just cruise with the aircon on. i hate the hot weather sooooo much. edit: +4 this is when you need the death penalty and throw him off the bridge.

_Ryan_ Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 nah not for a car with big cams that idles around 1000rpm... really thick FMIC and alloy radiator don't help either, it needs plenty of airflow so putting around in traffic doesn't helpwhen you see 110º+ water temp its time to worry... what temp does coolant boil at, anyone know? now an Evo tuned to run 98 running 91 on a 40º day, that sounds unhealthy lol depends on the coolant/water mix, says on the bottle. i mix mine for 127deg boiling point Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/254294-heat-and-your-turbo-ride/page/4/#findComment-4396876 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panko Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Unsafe? Ever been in a taxi? I used to drive a security patrol car. It was an Echo and the car at that time was on 700k+ on the odo. Driver side door seems to have more problem than the engine itself because we hop in and out around 150 times a day.

llama_au Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 That's what mine's sitting at with air-con on in traffic, and it's pretty much stock. It drops about 10'C if driving for a while. Can't expect the poor car to be able to cool much more when the ambient temp outside is 45'C and the air-con is running at full steam. 110'C is fine. It's higher than what you're used to seeing normally but it's certainly not going to cause damage. You just don't thrash it or place it under excessive load at that sort of temp. And keep an eye on your oil level. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/254294-heat-and-your-turbo-ride/page/4/#findComment-4399630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
