Hi....... i use a lightly modded EVO7 as a daily drive. In summer temps are always +40degs C. What is the ideal temp while driving normally? My car always seems to reach about 110 degs C in traffic.... slightly lower normal driving. Spirited acceleration will get it to 120 degs C

I just installed a OP guage and noticed that pressure drops while slowing down from a normal acceleration to less than 1 bar!? Is this normal?

what should be the minimum OP ever on an EVO7? I have a feeling my Oil pump is shot........

 

down here in NZ, in traffic, oil gets up to 90deg C and motorway cruizing about 75deg c

air temps here are about 30 deg C though....

 

My EVO 7 does the exact same thing...EXACT SAME THING...IMHO less than 1 bar is normal duing idle...about .5 to .7 BAR I believe. But when you rev up it has to go up as well. The temp on mine is about 108 during traffic and when I drive it hard 115 to 120.

My issue now is when I use it on the race track it goes up to 150, that I am pretty sure needs to be addressed.

 

Well, those temps are probably a bit high, but concerning your region of the world, it may be normal. If I lived in an arid and hot region, i'd be fitting a larger oil cooler and upgrading my radiator. Running good motor oil is good too.

 

i guess its normal fazzy98 ....
My evo 7 does 90 deg C in traffic here in beirut, and 110 on a karting track.

 

same way in my evo VII!!!
