How hot is too hot

[9240sx]

I just got done with my FMIC and i was wondering what temps you guys with stock JDM radiators are running???Today it was around 91degs outside and the highest my temps got were almost 190,does that sound normal??

just make sure its under 200190 sounds like good operating temp

I went to the race track today and my temp almost hit 200 once but would drop back down to 190 so i think i good..It wont get to much hotter here,then it is now..

ideal operating temp is 180. but if your below 200 your fine.

although, i would recomend an aftermarket radiator and an electric fan.

215 would be the max, around 225 the engine will loose power and blow the head gasket.
