Hi all,

Just wondering what is the normal coolant temps for hot days.

The reading are based on the CONSULT box.

Lately I've been in the 88 to 93 degree range, sometimes hitting 97 if the a/c is running - Usual is around 84 to 86 degress.

On the last 38 degree day my coolant temp reached 103 degrees - with my a/c on in traffic.

Just wondering how my car will go on this 43 degree day with the a/c running...

My car is pretty much stock.

72 degrees is quite cold. Isnt the efficient operating temperature around the 80 degrees?

My car cycles from 82 to 95degrees depending on weather.

my thermos run off the thermostat which is 68ish degrees, so far have seen a max of 80

had a max of 95 - but that was because the fuse blew in the 14" thermo lol

once the engine has been run in and im actually pushing her it will be interesting to see how she holds up :(

    • The only way to make that better is to weld on some bozozoku tips up past window height and roll with the cool kids.
    • I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
    • Reminds me I really need to install that HKS oil cooler I bought years ago.
    • It be 40°C outside lately. 10W60 is a good idea here. Well, certainly 10W50.
