For people with a sleeved block and APS twin turbo setup.....What range of temperatures are you all seeing?

 

it depends on a bunch of things...what coolant u r running, low temp t-stat, rear coolant bypass mod, upgraded rad/fans, oil pan spacer/bigger one.....ohh and search...

 

Yes to bypass, GTM fan upgrade w/shroud and Spal controller, larger oil pan supplied by APS. I have done a few searches but not really finding answers for sleeved block temps.

Thanks..... I have noticed that the fan should make quite a bit of a difference. I am still running around 210, and the system has been bled,burped quite of few times.

 

I run around 200-210, highway cruise 190's, and as low as 185 at night on the highway.

I think the hottest is has gotten is 215 peak.

Your fine.

very similar to mine, maybe around 5-10 deg lower in all settings, I think the bigger opening of the Nismo V2 bumper has helped air flow quite a bit

also have rear cooling mod, Nismo thermostat and bypassed stock oil cooler, also when the sleeves were done the opening was made bigger than the Darton instructions said to, since the first dumbass didn't even enlarge them at all in addition to bad sleeve install

 

are these water coolant temps or oil temps you guys are comparing?

 

my assumption was coolant, oil temps should not differ much from stock

 

Coolant. My oil is usually around 210-220 peak 235ish

 

my temps are in the same range as you guys give or take 5-10 degrees

 

Bypassed stock oil cooler? Upgraded to a aftermarket one, or just got rid of it?

 

I removed the coolant line that goes through the stock oil cooler but I did add a Sertrab oil cooler, I figured that it would remove a heat source from the coolant system and cool the oil better, I live in South Florida so I figured I didn't need the coolant to help warm the oil when the car was cold.

 

Any mods that can be done to help with A/C bumping up the temps?? I run a constant 198, but the second I turn on the A/C the temp bumps to 208-213. No I cannot stop using it ! Texas heat at 103 is freaking insane to drive in.

 

My temp hangs around 200-205 in traffic...maybe a little higher in Houston with AC on.....in outside temps above 95 degrees. As long as your fans are working you will be fine

 

Try bleeding your cooling system, you more than likely have air pockets.

 

I am sure he means in traffic.....On the freeway my temps will drop....But in traffic....with outside temps above 95 degrees....with AC on....over 200 is the norm for me.

 

Iam running 208 in without traffic and every morning I check my coolant, it's topped off! Still I should bleed it more times??

 

Checking the coolant doesn't really mean there aren't air pockets, the smallest air pocket will make a difference.

Are you bleeding the system from the factory bleed "T" on the rear passenger side of the engine? That is the highest point of the cooling system and where the air pockets would collect.

Mike, was your other motor sleeved?
