Average water temp, oil temp, and oil pressure?
Hi!
Can I get some input on these average values for city driving?
I'm seeking about 183 -190F water temp, sometimes up to 200F with spirited driving.
185-195F oil temp
70 psi oil pressure with cruising, 20 psi at idle
These values look about normal?
Thanks in advance!

Water Foul
That oil temp looks a little low to me. You generally want oil to run above the boiling point of water to promote condensation evaporation. Hopefully it is peaking above 212F for a period of time during most drives.
I ran peak water temps of 215 to 218F at the track, which did not scare me at the time. I just had my engine replaced due to coolant seal failure (and low compression). If I were to return the car to track duty, I would make the necessary changes to keep it closer to 200F.

I average 170 for water and 160 for oil with an ambient temp of about 70. I can get the oil up to 170 if I start to push it and both will rise 10-20 degrees if I idle or drive under about 20mph. I measure at the pedestal and heater hose.

I know it's kind of a different topic but not really. What is fuel pressure supposed to hold at in psi I found most say 55-65 psi. Are my numbers correct cause I'm running a pressure test when the rain let's up (no garage 😩

How do you keep your temps so low? What kind of mods do you have?

Are you comparing with similar ambient temperatures? I've found I can add 5 degrees to coolant for every 10 degrees of ambient. Oil you can do the same thing but only when pushing it or idle. I am using Versatuner to lower my fan temps -- but that's only to 196 and 203. I also have a midpipe which cooled the passenger floor a lot but that's about it for mods that impact temperature..
Must be that appearance package splitter
By that I mean I wish I knew. Maybe it's normal and people only come here when they have issues.
