not sure if it is left or right. ECS put it in before the summer.
I know I was seeing temps in the 280+ mark at WGI. My car always ran somewhat hot though. I wish I could remember 100% what they are now. I should write this stuff down as they tell me a million times to do so at the track. I know the numbers are inline though to what I think they should be.
Honestly after checking a few times after the install I never really pay as much attention to it now. It is always up on the DIC (oil pressure on the HUD), but since it never goes anywhere close to the temps I use to see I dont concern myself with it as much as I did in the past.
My guess though would be oil temps around 240 and coolant in the high 190s. One thing I did see is that both temps drop much faster on the cool down laps then previously.
hopefully Bad Machine will read the thread and respond. He just put one in and I know he was watching the temps much closer.
