The average temperature where i live is around 30c, ive got aftermarket gauges and they start beeping every time i push the car a little. ( the water temperature gauge at around 100c). Ive got the car checked everything seems to be fine,should i consider cooling upgrades, if yes which ones would help my situation the best? 06 rx8 6 speed.
Thanks!!

P.s using 20w50 Castrol mineral oil.

 

Rotrary s run hotter that the piston engines and 100C is around 212F so I would say it's normal for a 30C amb temperature. Even I live on a country which is really hot and we see those kind of readings frequently ..
Don't let it go over 220F . Turn on your heater immediately if do so .

Cooling system in the rx8 is know to be a failure so if you have the ability to upgrade it do it so.

The thermostat starts to open around 82°C and isn't fully open until 200-ish.

The fans don't kick into high speed until 97°C. Getting up to 100°C in stop-and-go traffic isn't unreasonable.

If your temps are that high while cruising on the highway, you have a problem.

 

200c???

 

Sorry, got my F and C mixed up. Meant 93-ish˚C

 

Please describe "pushing it a little bit".

Temps will go up with more use. And, if you stay at high RPM, even if just part throttle, say 7,000, the water pump will cavitate in the Series 1 (06 is series 1). But, if you are at 212F, 100C, likley not bad. Kudos to you for watching it and catching it.

If you are at speed, fans are not on, so fan mods will not help. Check the fins on the AC condenser for blockage if you want.

But, above about 215, might want to think of responding.
