[Fot] TR8 Water temperature

[MadMarx]

I have a 160F thermostat installed.

Next test will be without any restrictions, maximum flow and see how it goes
with that.

My diesel BMW runs always at 100°C/212°F when hot. What coolant thermostat
is in it? If the T° is steady at 212°F, perhaps it  is intentionally done so
with a 212° thermostat.

Hi guys,

 

My TR8 is running way too hot about 212F at full speed and at idle the temps
are getting that high also. I have no idea to get them down.
Radiator core is 68x48cm x 5 cm. I suppose that should be enough. I've
experiment with different restrictor plates with no change. Changing pump
speed didn't help either. The difference between radiator in and outlet is
10°C (50F). Not enough I would say. Maybe making the pump more slower? It
was running on a ratio of 0.8 slower than crank, currently 1:1 speed. Any
ideas? 10 Liters are circulating.

 

Cheers

Chris
