so I was jus wonderin wats a safe water temperature while in traffic and on the highway im trying to figure out if in over heating or not.. the car is boosted and is a zc motor

 

Coolant temp should be around 190 degrees F after that the rad fan should turn on.

If temp. exceeds 200 or so degrees and rad fan is not turning on, check rad fan circuit, fuse, rad fan relay, ECTS and wiring.

If engine temp. continues to clime even if rad fan turns on or car is moving at 30MPH+ replace the thermostat it is sticking.
Also make sure there are no restrictions in front of rad, if the inter-cooler is in front of rad or portion of rad make sure there is no debris between rad and inter-cooler, same goes if you have A/C, check for debris between rad and condensor. 94

 

ok my intercooler is right in front of the rad fan but it does kick on but not sure if its on while driving but it is leaning on the piping tho which is aa problem... its only on really hot days i worry but maybe its the thermostat

 

Do you still have the stock rad?
If so you may want to thing about a bigger aftermarket rad.

I had an overheating problem on hot days when autocrossing and using the 75 shot nitrous oxide, [94LS] replaced rad with aftermarket triple core, no problems since. 94

 

ive got the c&r half size aluminum radiator since the turbo and all the piping takes up most of the space
