I recently (2.5 weeks ago) bought a 1994 turbo'd GSR running 7 psi of boost. I know turbo's create more heat, etc. Once the car is warmed up (maybe after 5-10 minutes) the needle on the temp gauge is at the line before the 1/2 way line. Does this seem real hot? Also, if I put the a/c on with the fan on 4 and all the way to cold, the air that comes in is kind of hot. I know I need my a/c system charged (seller says that no a/c components were removed when installing the turbo), but just wondering if this seems overly hot.
Thanks for the help

 

that temp is right around where mine is, except I don't have a turbo Anyways, does your a/c compressor turn on at all? If it does, does it cycle rapidly? I may just need to be recharged. It's really easy to do. Just get the refrigerant and the lines to hook it up to the low-pressure ac line, turn the ac onto full cold, then let the refrigerant flow into the lines and your ac will be cold once again. Good luck

 

not sure if the a/c compressor turns on. i'll have to check tomorrow.

 

Totally normal.

 

mine use to go to red.. cause the fmic used to block the radiator... but i ised some watter wetter and it help out

 

i think the temp guage only has like 3 postions. cold, running temp, and overheat.

even tho it looks like theres inbetween temps, i think theres only 3 positions.

i think

Sorry, but no. I can see differences in my temp gauge between winter and summer, my rich and lean tunes, and I found it to drop 3 "dots" (u know what im talking about on the gauge, right?) just from turning the heater on full (i did this on the highway repeatedly so i'm sure its true).
