As long as I brought this up, a little data for you guys driving cross country with your 4 cylinders. My car is wired and gauged for CHT readings. When I drive normally in traffic with the Raby kit motor the CHT is usually around 275 F. That is until you go to fifth gear. In fifth gear the temperature rises by 50 F. or so. Now with a stockish 2 liter the CHT is about 50 F. higher than the Raby kit motor. So just driving around you sit at about 300 F. Go to 5th gear at highway speed and your temperature rises to 350 F. These temperatures are at a fairly cool ambient of 70 F. and are compensated, so they are actual temperatures.

The take home message is if you are on the highway in high ambient temperatures and in fifth, be aware of your oil levels and try to spend some time in forth gear once in a while. I suspect you are ok having your temperatures rise by 50 F. but absolutely do not forget to downshift when you go up a grade.

You guys with stock exhaust will have higher CHT. Fan speed seems to have the greatest impact on CHT, but don't let your oil levels drop!


Isn't that kind of hot? Do you have a cooler?

Jake would have to comment on whether that is hot or not. I suspect it is quite normal for a probe located under the #3 spark plug collar. I do not have a separate cooler and would not have it hooked up to this motor if I did. As I said, fan speed seems to be the biggest contributing factor. I suspect additional oil or an oil cooler would have some small impact but not that dramatic. Any discussion beyond this should probably go to a separate thread. idea.gif
RoadGlue
There's a temp thread started by Jake somewhere here. smile.gif

Speaking of hot temps... for those of you coming from the east and are headed to South Lake Tahoe via Hwy 50 (through Carson City), be advised that the HWY is steep, long and has fast speed limits. The last time I took a 914 up that hill I had to down shift and hold her around 30 mph to keep from over heating. I was monitoring both head and oil temps. Those of you that just have oil temp gauges are missing out on a world of information too. The head temps spiked well before the oil temp gauge showed trouble. Just something to keep in mind. That's the only road I've had trouble on up there and ymmv. smile.gif

Only 52 days left until the WCR 2010 "Teeners at Tahoe" event! Make your plans early so you don't get left out. So far 36 people are going to be there. Actually over 40 if you count people who we know will be there but haven't registered...

51 days to WCR 2010 "Teeners at Tahoe"

Time to plan your route, find out who in your area is going so you can caravan.

If all of the beauty at Lake Tahoe was not enough reason to bring a digital camera - we have decided that the drive around the lake on Friday morning will also be a competitive photo rally. You need a partner and you will be given a list of things to get a picture of. No slamming on the brakes or going back is allowed. Besides, if you did slam on the brakes you would have a teener stuffed up your tailpipe! blink.gif If you do that and manage to get all the pictures and are judged to have taken the best pictures - by virtue of your photo rally performance and getting into an accident with two Teeners you could win two awards! The Photo Rally and That Guy!

Some of the things you need a picture of will be geographic and specific. Others will be random and quite possibly not come up. For instance, and this will be one of the rally photos you are assigned to get - A Porsche coming the other way. Imagine the Porsche owners surprise to see 40 Teeners coming the other direction and they're all taking pictures of him! lol-2.gif

Hey, I think I recognize the cars in that photo lineup. Tell me how I do:
KevinE, Curt/Greenie, Chris/effutuo101 (before sold to oldschool), and Jim.

50 DAYS TO GO!!!

The 50th top reason to go to WCR2010 "Teeners at Tahoe" is getting to see at least 2 former "That Guy" winners in one place at the same time! Rumor has it that Eric Shea will be there and Jim Tabor is already registered. Tabor is defending "That Guy" champion! Eric Shea hasn't shown the form that won him the honors in years. Will Eric show some signs of contention? Will someone else step up to challenge the champion? You have to register for WCR2010 "Teeners at Tahoe" to find out!!!

Pretty much a month and a half to go till the WCR2010 "Teeners at Tahoe" event! This will be huge! Property values in Tahoe are going up in anticipation of all of the NARP's coming to town. biggrin.gif Seriously, the longer you wait to get registered and reserve your hotel, the higher the "property value". Register and reserve now!

Even out registration price goes up on the 15th of April. No deductions allowed. (a little tax humor. If there is such a thing)

Michelle and I are seeing if we can get a couple of days off so we can attend. Gotta do a little more work on the new 914 before I'll drive it that far as well. I'm thinking we'll make it.
