Turbo Charged Normal Engine Temp.

[Over40]

CASTREX & CALI YARIS: OK, I'll install Temp gauges first to determine how hot.

I agree with CASTREX on proper cooling prolongs engine life.

BTW, why do we need both Oil & Water temps ... wouldn't either one represent the condition of the engine itself. I'd hate to clutter my A-pillar with to many meters.

Tamago: twin cooled turbo ... interesting? Do you have the thread showing the application?

O yes guys, oil cooler is already installed.

Thanks guys, very much appreciated ... I'll update after gauges are installed.

almost all OE turbo applications are twin (oil and water) cooled

you could get a gauge display like this..

that would cut down on clutter

oh and i installed my water temp sensor at the radiator outlet, not at the point the water comes out of the block..

my rationalization is, there's already an OE sensor at the outlet, why not keep an eye on how hot the water is going back IN to the engine?
