Ok I'm new to this 5VZFE and OBDII reader, so what is the normal range of temps for you guys with a OBDII code reader or some other type of coolant temp gauge. Please state if you have a factory thermostat or not.

 

With the stock thermostat it usually reads 190* F

You will find that it will normally be 10* higher then the thermostat temp.

Thanks Gadget! Anyone running temps higher than that?

 

I will check mine when I drive to ABQ on Wednesday, that way you'll have a supercharged/aftermarket t-stat reference... sorry about putting it off This will also give me some in-city driving and highway driving to look at.

 

Thanks Brian!

 

Gadget is pretty much right on target.....also depends what time of year we are talking about but in general about 10 F degrees above the thermostat rating is usually a good rule of thumb. I'll try and hook up my OBD for you and see what I get.

 

This one time in band camp .....

I was on my way to pick up my new shocks . The ambient temp was over 95 degrees and I was in boost for about a mile or two I watched my temp's go a little over 200 degrees. This observation was made using my OBD2 reader.

Stock cooling fan, Napa 170 thermostat , and 2 stage cooler plugs and no ping.

 

Thanks Jamie and Thomas!
