Im driving down the road in stop -n- go traffic and my temp gets to 203 is this normal?

 

Yeap.

 

I've only seen my temps get over 200 once. My fans are always running and I don't drive in stop and go too much.

 

it can get up to 220 at idle, ish is fine. if it starts to get 2 hot for comfort turn on your AC full blast, no ****.

 

My car never gets that warm. You should tune your car so that the fans kick in when you reach 190.

 

Since i went turbo, they have gotten up to 196... But thats about it.

You can get up to 220 and there wont be any problems.

 

yup i see 220 every once in a while but mainly 210-218 in stop in go traffic

 

mine hangs at about 181

 

i've never been above 192

 

the normal time is 223*, which is when the fans kick in and cool you down. Mine used to do that all the time at idle, but since i got tuned, i set it to where they kick in at 200 and cool me down to 180.

 

About 185-190 mine stays at. Fans are set to come on at 195 if I am stopped for periods of time.

 

mine runs off the T/stat never gets hotter...I watch the AIT and the water temp on my PLX... real time

 

i havent gotten over 197 yet so im good

 

when does our thomostat open? I would like to have the fans kick in at 185.What do you guys think

 

i've noticed even the 2.2's pull harder at 180 then they do at 195
175-185 seems to be the sweet spot, above 190 and that engine feel heatsoaked

never got above 190 in the ss so i wouldn't know

 

180 nominal t stat.

 

Yeah i freaked the **** out when i got my stage 2 installed in my ss/sc and it was hitting 220-223*. I took it to the dealer and said somethings wrong and he said its normal. I was like damn thats hot

 

223 on a normal day here in TN, i know this is in the LSJ section, but fan controls are still set to the same value stock.

 

I hit 223 every day, than fans cool it back down, but in 99*f weather I can say it's normal

 

220 in tarffic, but it drops at a certain point, and dont turn ur A/C on full blast, it runs on a belt....Duh! unfortuneltly u just turn on the heater and just the fans turn on, but not even I myself will turn the heat on in the summer. but to each his own

 

yeah its norm..ive seen mine up too around 221 at the track and what not..it was a hot sticky night..around 80 humid too..car ran like ****..supercharger wasnt havin it..haha

 

With the ZZP HE mine is at 183

 

mine only gets to 198 then my fans kick in and that only happens while im at idle but while driving during the middle of the day 181 to 183, thank u many many cooling mods : )

 

so i spent some time watching the PLX readouts from the OBD2, and idling for a long time the temp goes up to 201 at that temp you hear the fans kick in temp keeps rising to 203 then drops back down to 177 to 180-185 and stays there. Of down the road, runs, 177-180 ....AIT are 77 idling and about 70 going down the road, so that tells you what the car is seeing at the MAF box...

 

174 cruising at 75mph.

never above 192

i cheat
