ChadG · 08-20-2011, 07:46 PM

My coolant temp seem to hold steady between 195 and 210 degrees F even in very high ambient temperatures.

Im going to drive it like I stole it once the weather clears up and see what temp it goes up to and if the fans come on. A bit worried now

I've only gone that high at the track between rounds where it was truly being driven like it was stolen.

drove my car for 10 minutes in temps that are 57 degrees and let it sit for 2 minutes and it reached 220 with no fans

If I need to bring this damn car in for one more repair. Im going to get a forklift and flip it over and burn it

Did it reach 220 while idling or with the engine off?

TJ91 · 08-22-2011, 12:51 AM

when idling

:(

Damn, do you have the Vararam intake or something? Mine never gets over 205 unless I turn it off for a few minutes and then start it up again.

Yeah im going to take the VR off and go back to stock and see if it changes anything. But is it something I should be extremely concerned about? Especially the no fans part?

I'm just learning cars. I come from a motorcycle background but 220f is pretty hot. I'd say you're probably safe at that but I wouldn't want to see any higher.
Try turning it off at that temp for about 2 minutes so it can get hotter, then start it up and see if the fans come on then. I have the Trifecta tune and asked Vince to make the fans come on sooner.
