39 Degree Day Today - How Were Your Water Temps?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Just a quick question for you all who were driving around in today's sweltering heat...what were your car's water temps while sitting in traffic?

My car hit 95 degrees sitting in traffic with the a/c on...which was rather worrying...whereas the previous day while at a track day at Sandown fanging away it only hit a maximum of 90 degrees...

At Sandown you had airflow flowing through your radiator etc... Sitting in traffic you have no airflow :(

Cheers mate...i know that...my temps on the track were good sitting around the 82-87 mark all day and that was because of the airflow at those speeds...

My concern here is how high my water temps climbed while sitting in traffic...and thats with a thermostat that works...new rad cap and a 40mm alloy radiator...

Well you need airflow, do you still have your thermo fan? Maybe you could fit a higher flow fan if you are concerned.

Having said that 95deg isn't a temp to stress about when there is a reason for it (sitting in traffic) and it only happens rarely on a very hot day in traffic.

I hit 80 degrees with air con on in slower traffic and 70 degrees in places with more airflow, I do have problems with the fan so I was taking it *very* easy on the car.

i was hitting 90~ degrees with AC on sitting in traffic.

Whilst driving with ac on it sits at about 88degrees

AC off my car was sitting on around 82degrees

Im suspecting the AC with r134a gas conversion might be creating more heat in my car

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
