Well, I finally got a dashhawk to keep an eye on my operating temps (since Im always paranoid my cars running hot).

I was actually really shocked to find that it seems to be in check, however, I wanted to share the numbers I saw on my little cruise I just took.

Here's the details:

70 degrees - mild humidity (sunset in Chicago)
Drive was about 15 miles long.

Here's the temps I wanted some opinions on:

While Driving:

coolant temp: 180-190
Intake Temp: 80-95
Cat Temp: 1300-1500 (really depended on throttle) Reason this is a concern for me is because my cabin is getting REALLY hot so I felt as if my cat was overheating, and I really do not know where it should be temp wise


It became extremely alarming at idle however how fast my intake temps spiked. I have a K&N V2 hot air intake paired with a ram air hole in the bumper (deedub style).

coolant temp 200- 208
Intake temp - 100- 140!!!!!
Cat Temp - Same

As soon as I began driving, the intake temps would drop back down into the 90's again.

I couldn't really find too much info on these numbers, figured I would get some feedback from veteran members. My car is aging now so Im doing the best I can to keep the original motor healthy and COOL.

Thanks for the time

EDIT- I also plan to get trans temp/oil temp/ and oil press gauges in the ashtray within the upcoming months too that way I can truly see EVERYTHING. Just thought I would add that.

yiksing

No oil temp. I plan to get gauges for oil temp, press, and trans temp. Only information dashhawk doesn't have
