Re: Drilling thermostat
I completely agree that it's not normal. Every cooling problem that I've ever had was around town, and it got better on the freeways with more air flow. This is also exactly why I put a vent in the hood despite others telling me "no, fix the real problem". Like I mentioned above, cooling temps are directly proportional to my EGT temps, and so my goal was to get a vent to give that hot air building up right there a way out.. As my EGT's go higher, my coolant temps go higher. Cruising on the freeway, my EGT's average around 675C. I have no clue if that is normal or not. I'll have to look again, but cruising on the freeway I'm usually pretty close to stoich, right at about 15.0. As for the timing, I'll have to research, but I do run a bit of timing now with Link since I've been adjusting my E85 tune. But this problem has been going on before I ever touched the timing. I am going to go read up a little, but does my timing adjustments on DSMLink, are those implemented always, or only under WOT? Also, this is all on E85, which should actually have my engine running cooler. Very odd. I'm going to replace the sensor and go from there.
