hey guys wondering what your opinions are on acceptable coolant temps for boosted 7m's
when im slamming it in the mountains boosting up 10+ degree inclines and whatnot i start to see temps of 100+ degrees (Celcius) within minutes. coolant usually sits between 85 and 88 degrees as the thermostat opens and closes during regular driving.
I start to go easy on her once it creeps over 100 and it takes a while to scrub the temp off also.
oil temps sit around 90-95 when the water temp is up super high
i have a big "mspec" brand alloy radiator and 19row earls oil cooler
new hi flow cat (the old one was blocked and causing massive overheating issues)
15psi through gt35
am tempted to swap factory radiator back in just to see what happens.
otherwise ill get a hold of a decent brand (probably PWR) mk3 specific alloy radiator
