six appeal 53 Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Yeh mine hovers about 100-104 between 70 to 100 mph. But if you then start canning it above this it can get as high as 120 temp. I've seen (Allegedly officer ;o) ) Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Rich 3 Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Ive seen 110 but 120!?! Sounds a bit too high to me! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Steve 0 Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Since the head on mine was replaced @ Stealth with an OBD1 head, oddly enough it has run hotter? Used to run around 104 on the motorway, now more often runs @ 108. (Now also using Synta Silver as well). Getting a Neuspeed thermostat fitted and the fan switches replaced and see what happens.

Eat this 2 Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 i use 5-40 full synthetic it seems fine and stays fairly cool rarely goes over 100 (i think it has 3 times) Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I've had 152 on the track and 134 on the road but have fitted an oil cooler since and now it runs at 94-104. So 104 is ok . Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Steve 0 Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Cool, just what i wanted to hear, thanks Ingham. :-) Link to post Share on other sites
dubloke 4 Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 i have one in mine and to be honest, there is not that much difference. however i am in the process of ordering an oil cooiler and fan switches to match the thermostat opening temp! Link to post Share on other sites
