Hi all,

Just wondering what is the normal coolant temps for hot days.

The reading are based on the CONSULT box.

Lately I've been in the 88 to 93 degree range, sometimes hitting 97 if the a/c is running - Usual is around 84 to 86 degress.

On the last 38 degree day my coolant temp reached 103 degrees - with my a/c on in traffic.

Just wondering how my car will go on this 43 degree day with the a/c running...

My car is pretty much stock.

72 degrees is quite cold. Isnt the efficient operating temperature around the 80 degrees?

My car cycles from 82 to 95degrees depending on weather.

my thermos run off the thermostat which is 68ish degrees, so far have seen a max of 80

had a max of 95 - but that was because the fuse blew in the 14" thermo lol

once the engine has been run in and im actually pushing her it will be interesting to see how she holds up :(

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
