i was just woundering whats ur guys average coolant temperature. my digit coolant temperature is usually around 90-100 degreee celis after driving for 30 mins is that average.

 

well i cant remember the convertion from c to f but mine is usually around 180-200 ferinheit.

 

mine sits between 180 and 190 and 200 if im stop and go in the city

 

100 c is 212 f

your temperatures are within operating spec.

I'm told a tune from trifecta lowers your engine coolant temp to 160 as another PCM mod Pretty neat I think

 

im just worried cuz in july im going to osoyoos and if the coolant temp right now is 100 i wounder how high it will be in july on a 4 hr drive :S

 

These cars are finr to run in the upper 200 degrees. If you see above 250 CONSTANTLY then you should start worrying.

But yes 200 degrees is fine in the ecotecs.

 

I was kinda worried 1 day, mine has hit 217-219 a couple times, but thats the highest i've ever seen it. Is this normal?

 

82-84

 

That's pretty damn low man. Normal operating temp on these cars should be right around 90 Celcius while driving.

 

cuz right now in traffic mine is between 90-100. :S

 

im usually in the 190's....i've hit 200 a few times, but i worried when i hit 220 :S

 

Mine only gets up in the 90s on a hot day in traffic!

 

not really.
90* C would actually be high enough to engage the fans.

during cruising im always in the 80s unless its a scorching hot day.

 

Mine sits at 194*F

Just curious, but how does a tune lower your coolant temp other than having the fans turn on earlier? Even with my fans on earlier, I still need a 160 stat in to make the gauge lower.

 

after my tune(s) the temperature hasnt changed much.....

 

90 Celcius is right around 190 Farenheit......these cars most likely have a 190 thermostat, so that's the normal operating temp.

I always thought the fans started at 100.

 

yeah see I live in america...and so I use the Fahrenheit system....no no jk jk..........I like fahrenheit because its a little more detailed than celcius....but yeah I usually ran 189 or 192 stock on the freeway here and up to 219 on the streets till the fan kicks on and lowers it back to 192....my cooling mods have dropped it down to about 180-185 on the freeway though.....although thermostat is kicking in and out of working right now on the dash display...figure I might get a 160 should it really go **** up....

 

well after i upgraded my fan.....i sit at about 170~180 and when im pushing her i get her to about 205 if that

 

mine holds at 190 on the highway, and if im stop'd in traffic with the AC on i stay 190, AC off it will climb to 200-210, 220 if i let it sit while its one for a while

 

220 is fine.

Gets that hot on purpose to help burn cleaner while idling.

/ end thread

 

Usually 86*C. You should be fine on a long drive as air will constantly be rushing through the grill opening. But just for peice of mind check the coolant with a hydrometer, and that will tell you how good the coolant is.

 

Mine hits 230 at the strip when doing back to back runs, you could see the heat coming off when I popped the hood.

 

230 is starting into the danger range....Travis...you may want to do some cooling mods to that car or you will be paying for it later....i run mine all the time yet my car will not go over 190F....never have i seen it once go over that...it's all on how you take care of the car and how you drive it....the harder you drive (and i drive mine pretty hard...the more heat it has....the more care you give it, all the more it gives back....

 

dont hotlap these cars. they hate it.

and will put holes in pistons to prove it.
