However, engines are not always producing maximum power and therefore maximum heat. If your stock fans are working properly they. Which is usually the case when the engine is producing maximum power. With the existing stock cooling system, normal temps should be 195 except when sitting in traffic as noted above. Prevention is better than cure, they say. If your engine runs higher than this, consider inspecting your cooling system components. If at some point the engine is producing heat faster than the cooling system can remove it, the temp will increase. Coolant temp varies based upon RPM, throttle position, engine load, speed, ambient temperature, etc. Normal coolant temperature Celsius should be between 75 to 195 degrees. That is the point where the engine is producting heat at the same rate the cooling system can remove it from the coolant. As long as the radiator can cool the coolant faster than the engine can produce heat the temperature would drop. 160 being the point the t-stat begins to open, permitting coolant to flow to the radiator. You wouldn’t want to damage your engine parts which will result in an expensive fix because of ignorance or not inspecting your vehicle. So, you put in a 160 T-stat and then the minimum temp would be about 160. Normal coolant temperature Celsius should be between 75 to 195 degrees. Say 140 -150 degrees which is obviously too cold for a number of reasons. If you were to remove the thermostat the coolant temperature would never get hot enough. In other words it takes longer for the engine to get to operating temp, as far as coolant temp is concerned. They really don't have any effect at speed.Ī thermostat that opens at a lower temp will not prevent the temperature from increasing but rather it simply determines the lowest temp the coolant can be. This will help somewhat but again only when the speed is low enough that airflow through the radiator is insufficient. You can achieve the latter by programming the cars computer or 'Powertrain Control Module' (PCM) to activate the fan/s at a lower temperature/s.

With my 3080 blowing hot ass air into the case, my cooler has to blow that hot air through the rad and that causes my coolant to hit temps around 36c-38c at a 2300RPM fan speed, at that point my PC is an actual jet plane. It sounds like the winter lips should stay on until the coolant temperature hits 200F. My coolant temp gets to levels that cause the default fan curve to literally max out.

If you want to dramatically lower the coolant temps you have to increase the effectiveness of the radiator by using a larger radiator and/or increase the airflow through the radiator. We see the typical coolant temperature is about 88C (190F). Yes, the higher temps will rob you of some h.p. If you are driving slowly or stopped idling the fans keep enough air moving through your radiator to keep your engine cool. Another thing to consider when watching your engine coolant temperature is what the engine cooling fans are set to. This will help maintain the coolant temp, if not lower it, while at idle or moving so slowly that there is not a lot of airflow through the radiator. This will likely be somewhere in the 160 to 190 degree range based on what your drive. You can turn on the A/C which will activate the high speed fan if you didn't already have it on. If you have bleed the air out and get hot air from the heater I would try another thermostat, because you may have gotten a bad one that is not opening or may have a water pump that has gone out or a clog somewhere in the cooling system.It's normal, yes. Do you heat hot air out of the heater? If you do not get hot air out of the heater after the vehicle has warmed up that indicates little to no circulation. to start also can help with spot heating issues from sudden increase in power (heat), giving the system time to catch up as coolant circulates. Did you bleed the air out of the cooling system after replacing any and all of the parts? If their is air trapped in the cooling system that could cause an issue with the circulation of coolant. Normal cooling system isn't sized for constant high power & heat production, but with more range to absorb temp. This is going to cause premature breakdown of my block and warp my heads.Ī few questions on this. I’ve taken it to the dealership for repairs and I keep having this issue. Twice, radiator once, thermostat once and distribution housing once. I have a 2012 Dodge Journey that I have issues with the coolant system.
