Post Temps update

OK,

Drove it to work this morning. The trip is about 15 minutes, with one valley (up and down, moderate incline for about 1 min) and the rest pretty flat.

The head temp (monitored at #3 cyl) varied between 150 and 250 deg. It was a pretty relaxing drive, 80 kph (50mph) speed limit. Oil temp hit 180 deg (fan turned on) when I pulled into the parking lot.

I accelerated up the hill in 4th !

I'll have an even better idea of how this engine performs when I go the Boxer AG meeting this Wednesday. I'm taking the long way there, about a 30 minite drive and I'll get it up to 90 - 100 mph for sure !

BTW, I cooked a 165/80 on the weekend .. had to buy some el-cheapo 195/65 's to get me by until I can put on my 18's.

The muffler is still a bit too loud on the car (Dynomax Super Turbo 2 1/2", like a Porsche / Corvette muffler, inlet and outlet on the same side, mounted like 1/2 of the BAS system .. STEALTH !

I will need to put some stereo sound insullation on the firewall in the passenger compartment. I LOVE the whine of the Porsche fan ... It makes me want to drive faster !

Later.

Sandeep
