Prior to adding my supercooler and iso system the max engine temp reached was 201 F, needle resting on the bottom half of the mid line or below it mostly. After the install, the max engine temp has been 209 F and the needle is consistently mid line or above.
This is why we need a lower T-Stat and LET fan programming, at least.
im not seeing how the supercooler is impedeing flow. the is a space between the 2 radiaitors and flow is good. as for cooling capacity the oem h/e was so small it couldnt hold much more than a qt or so.
my oem overflow is only used for the engine now as the h/e runs so cool no overflow is needed.
woody does rob have the 180 tstat? i know you run 1 and im thinking that will help. the temps ran just undr 100 degrees C on a trip of 120 miles. had some blasts up to 130 mph and more than a couple smokey burnouts. never went higher and during the evening dropped to just above the 80 mark.
even sitting in traffic the temp doesnt go above 100. i would just like to see the temp around 80 C
