i running turbo b16 in a crx.. when i go hard in boost the temp rises, goes to about the halfway mark.. considering the limited amount of space everything is close together , meaning the turbo and radiator.. i using a full race custom rad to fit with there front member, change thermostat, flused the rad, new water pump, motor is in great condition, no leaks, no smoke, clean oil... and 10in pusher fan, bolted opposite of stock..i guess my question is what temp most turbo ef run at ?

 

I'll tell you this, don't know how much it will help though

I have an aftermarket auto meter water temp gauge which is very accurate. Ok stay with me now

On most crx's the temp gauge will always stay around the 1/4 mark, well that mark is reach, the autometer gauge says 120 water temp. Well my water temp on my autometer gauge can go all the way to 220 ( never got it any hotter then that ) and the stock gauge will never move. And yes I know my stock water gauge works perfectly fine.

So I guess all I can really say is, your getting hotter then 220.
