Temp.

[KissMyWhtSS]

I believe i got most of the air out of the lines. Is there a special kind of antifreeze. I got the regular stuff not the 50/50 crap. Would it matter the my new temp gauge is bolted into the CYCLINDER HEAD instead of the WATER PUMP???

First off... if you don't have 50/50 then....
a) your boiling point will be too low and cause the coolant to boil too fast
b) your block could crack if the outside temperature is below freezing

Second off... yes the temperature gauge for the dash is on the head, which is probably hotter then temperature gauge for the PCM, which is on the waterpump.

I'd flush your coolant put a 50/50 of dexcool (unless your a anti-dexcool... which is for another thread another day) bleed the air from your lines and see where your temp is at. If it's still to high buy a can of water wetter and add it. If it's still to high either something is failing (radiator could be starting to clog... water pump could be failing, thermostat could be stuck, debris blocking radiator from underneath, etc) or just get a fan switch or tune the pcm to kick the fan temps on earlier.

Keep in mind the high fan isn't going to kick on untill 235* so if it's getting hotter than 240* you have a problem. I have my car setup to opperate at 190-210* because I feel that is the best operating temperature for our cars. I wouldn't want my car over 230* with a iron block and aluminum heads.

Hope this helps.

With a 160 T-Stat and a tune for 160 degrees.. Mine runs just a cunt hair above 160. I'd guess no more than 175 idling in traffic.

too cold IMHO. Who tuned it?

[YZF]

The car loves it. It runs better when its cooler. Thus has been proven at the track.

And it was tuned by a local guy.

Keith? He typically doesn't tune them that low.

Nope.. more local than Keith. And recently I found out a good friend of mine has everything I would ever need to tune my car. Im stoked for more mods now.

A laptop and a cable?

NO!.... a screw driver for my CarbBureetor?

That helps, but i wired it up so when i turn my ignition the fans turn on. Before i start the car. It usually dont run to hot unless its pretty hot out or im beating on it. I will try what you guys said and thanks for the help.
