So got the d3 fans in and holy **** lol.. was 93 outside today - idling my temps were like 162 on coolant - i revved it for a few ins to heat it up to like 175 then went right back down after a few mins to 163ish.. what is too cold for coolant? i am thinking of adding in coolant to bring it up a smidge.

Unreal

163 is too cool

Swap the t-stat to a 180, or adjust fan setting so they don't come on until much higher.

Ya not the easiest thing to get a tune a adjust. Changing the mixture of water to coolant won’t bring up the temps?

How long did it run for and what were your oil temps?

UmX

15-20 mins. Oil was 185. Just idling wasn’t driven.

Why ?? I'm local and have HPtuners for one....

Changing coolant ratio won't make much of a difference

Ahh ok didn’t know u had hp tuners. One of these days I’d like to get one with out any credits. I have to take it back again to the tuner bc I shredded the belt during a pull. Prob bc I was missing a spacer on the blower :/

Unreal

If you own a modded blower car, you should own HP tuners. Make that your next purchase. It will pay for itself over and over again.

Best way would be to swap the t-stat to a 180. A 160 tstat is going to make your car run too cool, and cause added engine wear for no advantage. It is the single biggest scam mod around.

do i need to let Phil know i went from a 160 back to a 180 ?

Unreal

Maybe, maybe not. The fan settings should be adjusted for your setup. No reason to have them full blast at 180 now that you have good fans.

worst case i can have six gun help me out with that since he has a hp tuners. Bc i have no idea when i can get back in again
