What Coolant Temps do you see with your Turbo Cobra?

[04SilverSerpent]

Just curious what kind of temps everyone see whether its stock radiator or not...both at cruise and at idle both with and without the AC on.

This is all based on the onboard diagnostic tool (to convert to F multiply (degC*.8) + degC + 32))

Right now (in this brutal TX heat - 100F+), I'm seeing around 89-90C = 192.2 -194F max without the A/C on in stop and go traffic and at idle).

With the AC on typically around 100-103C (Same conditions as above).

At Cruise (70mph) with AC on, typically around 91-93C.

At Cruise (70mph) with no AC, typically around 85-89C.

In AZ with the average around 108* right now, I see 215-220 with the ac on. AC off (insanity) I see around the low 200 mark.

Thats about what I see as well with the AC on with 100 degree heat. I see around 190-194 with the AC off in trafic.

Anyone have the LDC cooling mod with that? Also how big are your intercoolers? (would that even change the engine temp or just air intake temp?)

I think the cooling mod is mainly to help get more coolant to 7 & 8 cylinders...not so much to help overall coolant temps down. I have done that mod on my car. The IC really isn't in the way of the radiator on my car.

I can't remember my temps but with the Predator I changed the temps that the fan comes on for low and high speed.
They were set rather high but I think that is the default setting.
High speed was like 208*, think I dropped it down to like 190. Low speed to like 180 or something.
