Ok so the temps in the 6 are not what I'd like them to be. Could it be tuning maybe, but the 2.4 is running pretty good and the WB says I'm on the rich side.
I purchased a Mocal t stat. I had already purchased a stock 911 one, but it's bulky so I think I'll sell it. Why do some run the lines up the passenger and some up the driver? Is it because the cooler up front only goes one-way? Just preference? Where is the best mounting spot? Pics would be helpful. Andy put his inside the chassis. I'm looking for a more general mounting spot. Can it be installed up in the frunk as I have seen on others? What's the drawback there? Thanks and sorry in advance for the millionth ask. I might do something similar to tomeric, but was just curious about these other things first. |

Just can't figure out for the life of me why there is this constant quest to try to keep oil at 180 F. 180 F isn't even a good temperature to run the oil -- at (too cool).
Do you realize that if you're driving a modern ICE engine (particularly one with turbos and direct injection) that you're not running 180 F oil? If its not desirable and/or possible to be done with a modern water pumper, I'd love to hear the logic behind how/why it is to be done on an air cooled engine. Just sayin' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) Likewise, with respect to oil pressure, if you don't like the 10 psi / 1000 rpm's baseline, what are you wanting to see? |
