    agree with e240

    i beat the living crap outta my engine for 12 straight laps the other day & temp issues were non existent,admittedly it is a stock engine though.

    did the same at the same time with a actual stock engine with stock thermostat , fan switch and coolant etc , and temp still wasnt ever an issue.
    OEM parts and fluids when properly maintained are fine.

    The only way to overheat a untouched engine is to drive in reverse for a few minutes and watch the temp gauge soar.

    ok maybe you gents can shed some light...

    i've since replaced the low temp with a 90*C item... now my coolant is always boiling and overflows the overflow... i have tried:

    - water only
    - 25% coolant premix
    - ~40% coolant mix

    all boil. thermostat is not seized because both hoses are the same temp plus i also have a 1.3bar rad cap

    it's not the head gasket coz its new and theres no traces of water in oil and vice versa.


    on another note though my car feels like it struggles and i rev it past 6krpm despite feeling stronger than stock.. i've always had the suspicion that the dc2r muffler i have on the car is causing a massive restriction or it's just shot because of the horrible sound it makes.... i know a backpressured system also heats up the engine a lot more.. could this be the issue?

    nothing to do with it. I ran a stock vti muffler , twin loop copy and now a EP3R muffler...all run the same mph and similar ET down the 1/4.
    FYI my ep3r muffler , on back off makes a terrible noise too...more than likely loose matting inside or rusty bits flying around etc

    fair enough...

    does anyone know the exact oem temp?

    coz its too cold on 77*C open.. and its boiling at 90*C open.... 85-87*C perhaps?
