What temperature should a turbo engine run at and at what actual temp should the fan cut in??.
I have my stock busa fan (muzzy blade) activated by the original thermostat. The thermostat is now locatedon the right hand side of the bike in the radiator return hose as the original location is covered by the turbo up-pipe. The stock fan now activates at about 107deg c and holds the temp ok at idle. With the thermostat now fitted to the return line wouldnt it be activating earlier as its reading the hot water from the motor whereas in its original location it reads cooler water near the radiator outlet. Do I need to fit a hotter thermostat so that the fan activates at the original actual temp???
I have also fitted a GSXR1000 fan (muzzy blade) to the radiator and the Motec is set to activate this at 110 deg c.
What are the normal operating temperatures for a motor or how hot can it get before the oil is damaged.
