R33 GTST Oil and Water Temps

[GiJOr33]

Hey Guys,

Just wondering what the normal oil and water temps those of you with R33 GTST's are getting, especially with a Front Mount Intercooler.

My oil is around the 80-90 degrees, and water is around the 85-95 degrees on normal daily driving. Freeway driving they are lower, oil at 75-85 and water 80-90 Just wondering what you are getting. Is over 100 bad for water (ie boiling)?

I'm a bit concerned that these temps are a little high. Both water and oil temp gauges are after market. The oil temp sensor replaces the sump plug, and the water temp sensor is in the pipe that goes to the top of the radiator which i think is the return pipe so i kind of expect it to be hotter than the 76 degrees the thermostat opens at.

Just thought i'd see what others are getting.

Cheers,

Andrew

You're normal - that tallies with my PowerFC and cheapo Splitfire gauges.

FMIC only cools the inlet charge - it does nothing to lower engine temp.

Those temps would match say a hard-ish run in my car on a a 27c day.

from my understanding coolant added to water makes the boiling point rise to somewhere like 110 - 122 degrees celcius. Prolly go even higher due to the fact its a pressurized system.

The oil i have heard turns to water basically at 140deg celcius b4 engine damage starts....

hope that helps

with pfc accuratness my water sits between 79-82deg, warmer with aircon (hardly used)

My Greddy's are the same as GiJor33's, and my exhaust normal driving 600' C, bringing the turbo on, 800' C, sticking it into it, 900' C max. Round town down as low as 300' C.

Oil pressure up to 6.5, but flickers with the revs heaps.

cool... the only reason i mentioned the front mount intercooler is because it reduces airflow to the radiator.

Sounds about the same as my oil temps.

This is what I've found;

Stock car (no FMIC, normal clutch fan) around 70 degrees,

Installed the FMIC, temps now around high 70's (~78),

Installed the thermo fan, temps up about another 5 degrees.

Sooo, mine sits at aroun 85 degrees with the FMIC and thermo fan.

Oh I have a triple core radiator so zero heat issues here.

Where did you get your Radiator from Tony?

stock radiator, water temp only goes above 81 degrees if I get stuck in traffic on hot days, and then the highest I have ever seen it was 90deg. This is using power fc peak hold function.

On a sustsained high boost run (1/4 pass) my water temp has hit 90-92'c

Normal temp is 82-84'c. In traffic/at lights max it ever reaches is 88-90'c.

its funny how in traffic and and a 1/4 mile pass give the same temperature to an engine ... farken traffic!!
