How long does it take for you temp to hit 90

[LEE69]

Normal loads no "racing" mine takes twice as long for the oil to hit 90 as he coolant temp gauge does to hit 90.

must have had it wired wrong then ,

or racing would it reach that ??

Someone did get it to 135 deg, was only the other day i read it.
Might be in my liquid gauge thread?

is that 10 mins from starting, or 10 mins from when your coolant hits 90?

and what temp is that for your oil? hitting the 'magic' 60 or higher?

10mins for the oilpressure to be below 75psi on load @ 3000rpm.

7 mins from coolant to hit 90c from eng start.

oil temp is what i was after tho ,

think mines been wired up incorrect , as if i dim my interior lights the oil temp goes down

how great is that cool down temps at the turn of knob

so all jokes aside what sould normal oil temp be reaching , and when spirited driving is happening what should i be seing ,

surely not 150 degrees

cheers

Giving it good beans up a hill i got to 110 deg.

mine must be out then or im thrashing too much

beeing as oil pressure will not drop lower than 75psi @ 3000rpm's during a drive thats the operating temp.
