[QUOTE="Venomous01, post: 4394273, member: 39825"] I am investigating and researching temps on my car. I know there is a window and anything less or more can substantially increase the wear on the engine. So I was cruising around last night and today datalogging the IATs and Engine Coolant Temp. Here is what I saw: Last night (cool night) Engine Coolant Temp was 170-176 IATs were ~ 60 degrees cruising and ~90 degrees @ WOT Today (moderately warm w cool breeze) Engine Coolant Temp was 172-174 @ idle and 176-186 cruising and w/ a couple WOT blasts IATs were about 80-90 cruising and 120-130 @ WOT My question is are these coolant temps too low? I am running a 160 stat and I am thinking of going to a 180 to raise the temps. I always let the car warm up before I get into boost of drive it hard. My setup has proven to be incredibly efficient when it comes to cooling and the temps drop drastically after a WOT blast. With a being the lowest possible safe temp and z being the highest possible safe temp: What is the ideal range a-z for oil temp? What is the ideal range a-z for engine coolant temp? What is the ideal range a-z for iat temp? Thoughts? I have a feeling you guys can help me out with this one. [/QUOTE]
