daveburwash Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Hello, New to supras and new to the site , so be gentle with me . Just bought a 93 TT Man and love it!. Sold a 320bhp Starlet 1.3 Turbo which was manic but just love the supra My question (first of many) is the coolant temp. Upon starting from cold the gauge rises quite quickly and you can feel the top hose warming up. After a 5 minute run the cars smells quite hot but the gauge never goes above half. When stopped the rad is hot , top hose is hot, bottom is cool. Have flushed the rad and seems to be flowing fine. The car has a Greedy FMIC. Is this ok or is there a problem.... Cheers for any advise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 welcome - you may find that it will run "a bit hotter" with FMIC as it sits infront of the rad, saying that mine doenst... If you ask me, that seems fine... but... a 320bhp Starlet 1.3 ?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Yes this is normal. The car gets up to temp fairly quickly, and stays there. The temp needle will stay exactly in the middle. Mine does anyway! I have occasionally thought "hmmm I wonder if someone has stuck a resistor in there!" but i'm sure it's perfectly normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
