Adams_16v said:no its fine at that temp mate. it had been running on and off all day, then cooling down for half hour or so at a time.
it runs that cool most of the time! rarely goes any higher and takes about 20 mins to get there!
It only runs at <40 degrees oil temperature all the time?

looking again, it is slowly on its way up mate, it runs around 45-80 usually depending on driving (not a lot over 45 if its being taken steady) and around 80-90 if im doing 90+ for long. Anywhere in between depends on driving style!
but in that video the car had been run, then left for a bit, then i got in the queue for the 1/4 mile again and it was slowly going up from 0 on the gauge to its actual temp within just a few minutes. i.e it was already warm.
water temp barely goes over 1/4 too. it does run very cool.
afaik its fine from 40 degrees anyway, especially after its been warm already. But if its from stone cold, i do wait till its a little higher always!

I put a rev limiter on it for sub 60 deg coolant temps anyway lol.
But it does go well for something running a std bottom end.
Craig, i have a 16 row oil cooler sitting on my shelf for you aswell!
deffo need some outside footage, it sounds like a cosworth DFV if its comming from about 1/2 a mile away.

Ben i've got an outside vid too. i was making a bit of a video last night, but the software crashed so i'll have to start again!
ahhh cool, whats the rev limit set at for under 60 degrees mate? So even if its not showing 60 on the gauge it will have been 60 degrees +
oil cooler....coool! I'll have to bring the car down and leave it with you for a couple of days or something, if there are a few bits and bobs that still need finishing off. Like the fiesta plugs hehe!
also is it possible to plug my laptop into the omex just to set the rev limitor. cos my garage always take my cars out and rag the nuts off them im sure of it! Usually take them out to test what work they've done when they have fitted or fixed something, but a 3k rev limit should put a stop to that!
i took my old scooby in for some work once, as it broke, and the lad said its fast aint it, didnt know they only reved to 7k though! im thinking what the fuk, i never take it over 6k to be on safe side as its a jap import and prone to detting at high revs!

That cars so nice....
Its not a dizzy, its a coilpack. Its just there because the custom leads are still waiting to be made, but i need craig to decide where he wants the coilpack to sit so i can get the lead lengths correct.
Craig, The limiter is about 5500 if the coolant temp is low.
And if you pop over i'll show you how to control the software and upload diff maps and set the rev limiter to 3000rpm or lower lol.
Also we can do a few checkups and re-check the AFR plot to make sure its still running spot on, if not make some adjustments with your input as to what you like.
And if your going to need a clutch change or anything similar at any point, we have cracked the OE tdc sensor issue so we can take the front pulley timing wheel off and simplify the system and add reliability.

Nippy! Sounds pretty mean to!
I love this new 4mb BB connection! Downloaded in under 5secs I reckon!

ignore that! lol!! i thought 40degrees on the gauge was 20 looking at that vid! So everything i said add 20degrees onto it, as the gauge starts at 40 doh! lol!! So yes it runs between 65 and 95 usually, not 45 and 80! anything over 60 degrees is fine!
On track the toher week, after 5 laps of flat out, it wasnt much over 100 degrees which i thought was pretty low temps considering!
