What kind of water temps do ya get in traffic?
My Rx7 is allmost stock "just open airfilter and catback" 1994 24000km\'s on it.
"outside temp 24c"
City: up too 105c
Nice Highway driving: 75c
Hard: 85c
What do ya get?
All depends on what mods have been done to the engine and cooling system as everyone will have almost different figures from everyone else. Also depends on what front nose you have on your car to allow more air flow into the intercooler :Giggle
City traffic - 90oC
M-way driving - 75oC
Winter driving - 72oC - open thermostat :cool
Usual summer intake 27oC winter anything as low as 2-5oC
past few days i,v seen 70-75 on motorway, 80-85 in traffic and 85 whilst driving hard.
i dont like it when my temp rises too 105 at stops :(
Im waiting for my pfc so i can recheck the temp " i dont trust my greddy water gauge".
put a switch on the wirers that go to the fans that way you can just flick the switch instead of waiting for the car to do it.
Isn\'t there a fan control on the PFC?
yes it is. I allways use the ac to turn on the fan\'s. I gonna use this rx7 for track, so i need to be sure it dont overheat :(
Ive allready ordered 8pots d2 brakes and d2 coiloverkit. Maby a new and more open downpipe will reduse my temps, making it more open.
I\'ve got stock bumper and bonnet, HKS twin air filters with no heat shielding :( and a bigish exhaust. At the moment I\'m seeing about 90C in traffic, 85 on a run, with the A/C switched on all the time to keep the fans on around town.
83-88 on a run. Hard driving that goes up to 90-91.
As long as your fans are kicking in at 105 and bringing the temps down, then you don\'t really have a problem. You say your car is basically stock, if thats the case then that\'s what temp the fans are meant to kick in. All you temps seem reasonable to be honest. They could be cooler, but there\'s nothing to get overtly worried about at the moment.
I agree with Nik\'s comments.
Also was in motorway queue on hot day last week-for quite some time-water temps-crept up to around 100+ -i just switch on the AC which tends to reduce to around mid 90\'s.-that\'s fine.
Being able to see all these temps is both good and bad!! :driving
im not "that" worried in citydriving and street. Im afraid it will boilover at the racing tracks :3gears-rh
Time will tell :)

Hi mate, sorry to be a kill joy but could you change your avitar please as MRC is more of a family forum, something just alittle less would be cool.
Apologies.

no problem mate! :cool
Intrigued, I\'m wondering what the picture was now !!
Anyway, always 86 degrees C, fan comes on at 95 though. After heat soak sometimes it will reach 110+, comes down quick though, just musn\'t boot it til it comes down. Minimal mods, slightly oversized standard full alu intercooler, standard nose.
Mart.
^^^^^ Twas a vid of a very well endowed young lady in a bikini jiggling her endowments around with much animation and enormous titilation.... :D
Oh yes, i saw that-was pleasurable to one\'s eye-quo :D te from Alan Partridge!
my temps rarely drop below 90 once fully warmed up.
i need to do something about it really. Hard driving and 5 minutes into it temps are pushing 110c.
Slow down they come down to 90/100 deg.
I think as long as the temps come back down, you\'re ok. And as long as you don\'t lose any coolant.
During the period when it was evident that the coolant seals had gone on mine, even cool temperature motorway driving the temps would go UP whilst driving at 70mph!! Plus, when i stopped and switched off, the coolant got pushed out the expansion tank.
