Show Me Your Temps!

[Si Stuart]

So it's summer time in North America and I am curious to see how it is affecting your IAT and ECT readings.
I figured this can also be useful for logging how specific mods will help or hurt; so let us know what you're running

I am in SoCal running the 19/23 PSI map with an entirely stock setup (minus muffler delete). The ect is usually at 190-200, so this is higher than normal.

Wow. I don't even think I'm seeing 210+ and I'm in Arizona, 111F out yesterday and the car gets beat on pretty badly. How hard were you driving? I'll keep an eye on it today when we go for lunch.

Usually run 170-185 ECT in 80ish degree freedoms

On my hour long drive last night it was constant hard driving with a 19/23 map & every quick adjustment to the max.
It was about 87F ambient. Started out at 167F & ended the night at 183F.
The other day it was only 185F on a 97F ambient day lunch run with the A/C on & boosting hard!

About my average ECT reading looking back through my datalogs.

The other day Im not tuned yet but saw 210+ temps driving up into the maintains, plus my cvt got to 221 degrees.

I see 178-190* on a daily drive 20+ miles to work on the freeway. Iv seen the temp get higher at idle but not reaching 200*

Currently running Stage 1 Vit/@KTuner drop in K&N 3" Front/Down from RV6
There have been times iv turned on the heat to lower engine temps

I enjoy pushing it pretty hard, I am fortunate to have great canyons in my neighborhood. These readings were definitely higher than normal though. I'm always a little worried when the temps rise. But my ECT was steady around 185 today.

I gave it some hard runs yesterday, but couldn't get it to raise above a fairly normal range. If you're giving it longer spirited drives I can see how it would reach those levels.

In Dallas, hot and humid, Im rolling 85 on the way to work then get stuck in stop and go traffic and I never see over 195 ECT.

SoCal,
Jul 5, Temperature - 85F
After 30 minutes drive I had
ECT - 180 (I've never seen close to 200)
IAT - 104
IAT2 - 102
Knock Count - 1.03 (no pulls !)

Jul 7, Temperature - 106F (yep it was hot)
ECT - ~190
IAT - 135
IAT2 - 130

I have CAI, so IAT/IAT usually +20-25 to external temperature.

knock control of 1.03 with no pulls is not looking good tbh

you have a CAI and those are your IATs? +20???? what CAI do you have? What fuel are you using as well?

CAI - Injen, just tupical Injen
Gas - Only 91 since I've bought a car. Chevron or Shell

That's true. I was a bit shocked when level of knock control reached 1.0.
Since that time I got idea what factors are contributing into it.
- Incline (long running uphill)
- External temperature

Regarding road incline, that's major factor contributing. My work at coast. So I drive "downhill" for 20 miles. Knock Control goes down till 0.6 easily. I saw even 0.55 (0.58 was mentioned on forum as minimum). BUT when I drive back with 80mph "uphill" Knock Control grows crazy.
