CA Engine Temp

[Ca_Silvia]

Hey guys i need to know for those of you who run a water temp gauge, what temp does the car warm up to? I have a Omori water temp gauge but it is measured in Celcius. And i am finding with the colder September air temps the gauge will not read much more than 35* Celcius. So i don't know if the sending unit is pooched or if its just normal.

Thanks in advance

Well, 37*C is 98.6* F which is way too cold. The motor should operate between 190-200*F (around 90*C) for optimal performance/combustion.

Hey thanks c-rad, ya i think my gauge is toast.

Cruising, I see165-170. Heavy boosting/track I see 180-190 (depending on ambient temps).

BUT, I have a Koyo R1276, Nismo cap, oil cooler, hard core electric fan, and a 160* thermostat. So take my numbers with a grain of salt...
