just wondering what kind of temperatures you SFWD guys see after a full hard pass at the track.

today i was seeing about 205-210 and it seemed a bit hot to me, at one point it actually blew some fluid out the overflow bottle

temp here was about 94 degrees today.

i have an aftermarket radiator but i think it is a piece of crap

 

staged - 92c (197f)
after run - 107c (224.6f)
90-95f day.

royal purple purple ice, distilled water, honda thermostat, honda fan switch, fluidyne 38mm half size w/ fan, aebs t sleeves.

street driving the car for a full day it never got hotter than 220f. never ran into any problems.

hope that helps.

The needle stays in the middle

If you hit 173 after a run, then you're starting out way too cold.

To the op, i see about the same temps you're seeing or hotter, pretty much exactly what 714phil is seeing.

 

isnt because of the ductile in the blocks? no more so the turbo ?

 

HP makes heat, all things being equal, an 800hp motor will make a hell of a lot more heat than a 400hp motor.

man, i have a heating problem then because im a temps right with you guys, and im no where near 400hp

 

thanks guys.

i guess i am just a paranoid fruitcake then!


but i am gonna step up the cooling system with a couple new things just to be on the safe side

 

lookin at my 06 NHRA LV logs....with my AITs starting at 160 BEFORE burnout...

coolant 233f staged, 239f at the end of run
AIT 166f staged, 185 end of run

yea, vegas was a little on the hot side...lol

lookin at tyler_h's logs for 06 NHRA Pomona AIT's in the 125's before burnout....

coolant 212f burnout, 224f end of run
AIT 127burnout, 149f end of run

 

Haha, yeah, vegas had 120 deg ambient temp, so those are likely to be a bit on the high side.

What air temp sensors are you guys using, and where are they mounted?

 

whats normal air intake temp after a run for a 600hp car

 

Stop being a baby Mike Those temps are fine. How often are you blowing coolant out the overflow though?

im using a stock in the back of my manifold, but with the **baller A$$ C/F AIR manifold(hahah), i dont see very high IATs, maybe 105-110 after a run.

its only done it twice, once up here before we went to Trackday and then this last time i ran it. ireally think its this cheap *** radiator and mismatched cap as far as the overflow goes john

i hope LV wont be as bad this year, either way we shall be more prepared!

i was runnin stock in "stock" location on the jg edelbrock mani

tyler runs aem ait (gm sensor) on the bottom/side of the ips manifold

we use gm air temp switch , just in front of throttle body , course im running a tec 3 so im a outcast from the norm...water temps to 230 ,max, let you know on air temps , just added pcs..
