Engine Oil & Coolant Temperatures
Posted: Sun Aug 24, 2014 2:44 am
Hi all
Was wondering what oil and coolant temperatures everyone is running?
I recently did a 2TC conversion in my KE55 Corolla
The engine has en fitted with a large cam and I'd say higher compression
But I affordable a mate and don't know the exact specs
Anyway I put a thermostat in it as food it wasn't running one and was wondering if the temps are normal
As the seem they may be a bit high to me.
Coolant runs between 85-90 degrees C, this has an upgraded 3 core alloy radiator aswell
Does seem to get quite warm under load sometimes too
But the oil temp runs at at least 100 degrees C and can climb when under load to like 120 degrees C
Is this normal? Does seem quite high to me
Oil pressure is good at 90psi most of the time
Also does anyone run a larger ID thermostat for more flow or a cooler one?
Thanx in advance
Todd
