I recintly got my car on the road and I think I'm running a bit hot. I've been building from 90 degrees celsius to 120 degrees celcius. I feel like 120 is too high. Does anyone else measure by celcius? What is too hot?
Operating engine temp
- Thread starter Shadow
- Start date
90 degrees Celsius = 194 degrees Fahrenheit
100 degrees Celsius = 212 degrees Fahrenheit
110 degrees Celsius = 230 degrees Fahrenheit
100 degrees Celsius = 212 degrees Fahrenheit
110 degrees Celsius = 230 degrees Fahrenheit

More likely the radiator is getting clogged, or the fan is not pulling enough air.
Coolant temps should never be over 212 deg F (100 deg C).

How would you determine whether your thermostat is shot, and though I think I know where it is on the 7m (near the CPS little to the front of it) is that really where it is?

To test: Take out your thermostat. Put it in a pot filled with water. Bring it to a boil, and see if it opens.
I would replace it regardless if I had it out though.

You should use a thermometer to make sure it's opening at the right temp.
I'd take Jose's advice and get rid of those e-fans first.

could be ur t-stat like everyone else stated its only 20 bucks. I replaced mine b4 the motor is being dropped cause its in a weird place.
Head test came up posative for leaks so I either have a blown head gasket or a crached head. I however don't think it's a blown headgasket because of two reasons. 1: it's an HKS head gasket and I know it's not improbable to blow but given the circumstances, I don't think it did. 2: There's no coolant burning out of the exhaust. So I think it's a cracked head. What do you guys think?
P.S. The fans worked great maintaining the temp when I was twin turbo.
