S50B32 running temps

[///Maniac]

Any of you that track your car, what kind of temps are you seeing? Assume stockish engine management ( no motec ) and an oil cooler of sorts.

Just curious what's "common" round here?

On the street, I'm usually at 180-200 for oil. 220 tops for water.

On the track, in Atlanta, in July at 100+ on the grid, I'll see 260-265 oil on a heated lap, pushing hard in the instructor run group going pretty much balls out.

YMMV.

90C on the watergauge (exactly centre of the gauge, never moves)

90C oil temperature during normal driving, 100C-110C on track.

Water temp I'm not sure, half guage is all I can say.
90 - 100 deg for oil. This is on the street.

I have seen as high as 250-ish water and 230ish oil IIRC. I have a larger oil cooler than stock. THis is warm weather in Texas...track only.

i used to see ~110'c (230F) oil temps during summer + hard driving
now with the oil going through two turbos i'm seeing 120'c (248F)
i have the stock oil cooler

yeah for nomal driving its around 95degC (whatever its in farenhite) and hard driving/track around 110degC. hottest i seen is around the 125degC point.

my water temp guage never moves off 1/2 way point basically

bit over an hour straight on racetrack yesterday in enduro race, oil temp ~120C, water temp guage is a 3 step unit, sits in middle for about 50C range, is therefore useless to guess what temp is except "normal range"

Oil temps are about 92 on the street.

110...on track usually. crept upto to almost 120 in a 30 min session at the track this summer at track temp over 110 degrees.

Running OW40, Stock oil cooler.

I still have the stock idiot water gauge. Hasnt moved into the 3rd "oh shit" degree yet.

+1

Although the hottest I've seen in mine on the Oil is 115 round the Nurburgring
