NOT during Sept-May is generally in 165-175 range at most. even on stock thermostat, i never saw over 200 deg during middle of summer.
my current setup will SOMETIMES eek passed 200 with PowerFC DJetro and tune (with same hardware mentioned above) during heat waves.
if youre pushing into the 210-220 range, then it has to do with the tune on the motor during normal driving. 220-240 didnt become normal operating temp range until late 90s/early 00s in a lot of motors. 210-220s in an SR during normal operation warrants attention... especially if running clutch fan + shroud.

that makes sense, yea i had a feeling something was up tune wise once i couldn't get the timing set properly. even if 200-210 isn't the worse I wasn't going to try and push it, it never "overheated" and i definitely wasn't getting into boost at those temps so we'll see how things change once i get the ecu back. Im running a nismo thermostat (170F), redline water wetter & distilled water. No clutch fan/shroud but it isn't a Schassis so there's no room for one.
