JamieP Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Mine is between 95 and 110 when up to temp (according to gauge) depending how fast im driving, i dont have an oil cooler fitted but i have one in the garage, are them temps about right and do you think its worth fitting one?

terribleturner Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 110 would be what i would see when boosting it hard when BPU+ So sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flukey-lukey Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 What make gauge do you have and do you use a oil cooler? Its just a cheapo autometer guage so I could get a rough idea whats going on. And no I don't use a cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flukey-lukey Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Isn't the temp sensor reading affected depending on where its fitted? Mine is fitted in a sandwhich plate, maybe yours is fitted in the sump and therefore reads higher? I dunno much about this stuff tbh lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra matt Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 what oil you running in there mate ? thats a good temp for a 600bhp car without any other oil cooling parts , mine sits at 120 when im playing that was bpu , just in the middle of fitting the singlwe now so hope it stays low then , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno much about this stuff tbh lol Yea mine is in a sandwhich plate to, just checked my dyno graphs and they all read between 97 and 100 (he puts temp stick down the dipstick hole) so all seems well.

Paul Whiffin Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Your oil will be toast if you go on track with it though, I'd definately be fitting one if I were you mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I think there is a big difference in accuracy between various makes of gauge, also this was covered a few days ago, the sump temp is far more stable and lower than the reading in a sandwich plate, and yeah i think Jamie's tyre temps are what he should worry about:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
