Okay so I did several searches, and didn't find any postings about this, and was wondering... What is the Normal Operating Temperature (NOT) of the LNF engine? Mine hovers around 200 deg. I was just wondering if that was normal for these direct injected engines. Seems a tad high...but it is consistent.
Thanks for the help!

 

i dont know what its supposed to be but mine kinda hovers around 188 most of the time

 

Mine stays around 180 while moving (SS/SC)

 

Right around 190, but if I'm sitting in traffic it can go up to 200.

 

Mines about 190.

 

I am higher in elevation so I think it makes liquids boil faster and mine runs 200 in traffic beating it and about 188-190 normal op

 

Mines always about 198 on the highway.

Here's a fun game...hit boost and see if you can count faster than the temp increases.

 

mine 2....

 

Mine 3

 

your fine until you hit the 220-230 mark, that is normally when the second fan should come on.

 

mine is around 10

 

I sit around 194 most of the time. I did see 227 I think one time and often saw 217 during the heat of summer.

 

Mine stays pretty tight around 194-196

I haven't watched under boost though... watching the road.

 

its normal around 190 200. turbos run hot

 

the overtemp code doesn't come on til like 240-250ish if I remember correctly

 

Wow, that seems high.

 

mine runs around 190-200... now in this weather it runs at like 185

 

Mine sits around 192-194* cruising 200-208* in traffic. Overtemp probably does not kick in till around 240-250* because a 50/50 mix of coolent and water does not boil at 212* like pure water it boils at 250-260*.

 

these cars are designed to not die running at full GVWR in death valley up 10 degree inclines, they have quite high temp limits

 

Interesting.I would like to add some questions like DOES THIS BALT USE THE WORLDS QUIETEST FAN OR WHAT?I have yet to ever hear it come on.If,like someone mentioned it takes to 220 or the likes,i think that would take running the snot out of the balt again and again.I have noticed myself,like today even on a short drive(10 minutes at normal speeds,in little to no boost) in 39c weather,then parking it at idle for 15 minutes,temps remained at 205.They get up to temps quickly (198-199 for me).When it was toasty outside,like friggin 90,the temps act EXACTLY the same cept slightly faster to get to operating temps.Lol,just sayin here..i dont think this guage is telling me much of anything that is helpful but i wish i could find some documentation about what is suposed to happen when because it is becoming obssesive watching it,lol.
