oil and water Temp, WOW

Tedmeister · 07-13-2022, 03:53 PM

Just remember air out flow is almost as important as in flow. I have my 40 row
cooler where the windshield washer fluid was. Direct ducting to it and exiting
into the wheel well. My radiator is tilted forward and there is a ton of room
between the back of the radiator and the block. There is direct ducting to it and hood vents for the air to leave the engine bay. Oil temps barely reach 210
at Sebring in the summer. Water temps never go above the 50% level on the light bar.

Love to see someone else trying 4 inch vent ducts to feed the stock airboxes

I can swear by this mod.

You should look into 3.7 Q50 ones, they're bigger however might take a custom front to fit your car.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t tell us anything about your water temps. You could be pushing 230° water and still be at the middle dot. That gauge is a dummy gauge. It only goes full when you exceed 240°. You probably need to get a proper water tempt gauge.
