i just installed ottp's front mount and i was wondering what coolant temp you all are running. i havent installed the rest of the stage 2 kit yet, but only noticed a few degrees difference in temperature. it is currently 85--90 degrees here where i am and my cars running 181--189 degrees.

 

that does seem unusually hot even with a stock HE

 

You sure you don't have an air lock? Without an option b it's very hard and time consuming to bleed. I don't have any cooling mods yet and with my OTTP stage 2 after a 4th gear pull the highest i've seen was 158 degrees

 

i know i just want to make sure its ok before i put a 2.8 pulley ans 60 lb injectors.

 

How are u monitoring this

 

it may, i dont know. shouldnt it work its way out.

with the guage display on the dic.

 

ugh...coolant temp and intake air temperature 2 temps have nothing to do with each other. engine coolant is inside the engine. IAT2 is the coolant for your heat exchanger/intake manifold

 

OH i thought you were talking IAT2 temps! 2 totally different things

 

im thinking now i may have an air lock it didnt lose much coolant and i added about half a gallon

 

u cant monitor it that way

 

K lets clarify this. Are you talking IAT2 temps or engine coolant temps?

 

engine coolant temps

 

Engine coolant temps are not going to change because of a heat enchanger.

 

You're front heat exchanger has nothing to do with you're engine coolant temps. 2 totally different systems

 

You need to be more concearned with youre iat2 which is probably fine.

 

A heat exchanger is for you're Intake Air Temps. Not you're engine temps. Get an interceptor gauge to monitor it

 

ok, i thought it would since it had coolant running through it.

 

2 totaly seperate cooling systems.

 

ok, so the heat exchanger is basically just for cooing the supercharger

 

This is what you need

That would be correct.

 

If the stock h/e wasn't flowing correctly due to air lock, could this not cause an increase in engine coolant temp due to the stock h/e sitting right in front of the rad?

 

No....

 

Nope Air will still pass thru it regardless to cool it down.

 

I'm amazed at how helpful this thread has gone so far... Bravo.. (instead of stfu newb comments)..
