Not tuned but have heard the engine does run a bit cooler with the tune(almost want the tune just for this reason).

 

When i went to lordstown meet I compared with Sunline as we drove back and he was running i think 190f or so and hes tuned.

 

Mine runs around the same but it stays in the high 190s mainly.

I tried to get BNR to adjust temp back to stock but they said they werent able to. I mainly use my tune in eco mode. It would be nice to run 2 different temps say 190 in sport mode and 225 in eco mode.

 

About 200-210*F here. Those are normal tuned operating temps. I rather like it, since it heat-cycles the engine components less.

 

Interesting.... I thought the higher temps were better for economy. Lower temps for performance.

 

Thats why I was thinking about the 2 operating temps. Maybe Trifecta will have an update to make this happen.

 

I think it has something to do with knock

 

Not Trifecta but i do run at stock coolant temps with my Vtune. No knock retard noted in hot weather either

 

I dont know how you guys can notice i difference in temp, because when my car is warmed up, the needle NEVER moves, even after HARD 20min of Lapping, lol, it stay a tick under half like it was frozen. :uhh:

The Fan rarely starts too and the temp at witch it starts has been lowered...

I use my DIC for exact coolant temps. My gauge does the same, once warmed up it doesnt move.

 

DIC coolant temperature got removed on the later 2012's and 2013's. Too many folks were freaking out.

 

Ahhh, lol, thats why i dont have that feature ! :sigh:

 

Poje your running around 217 or 219 degree F.To be honest i find my car feels like it makes the most power warmed up and in that range.And it for sure will get the best fuel mileage to in that range.

 

For no DIC temp I guess either a scan tool with live data or installing a temp gauge (digital I would guess) will work to get a more accurate reading in temp.

 

Or a scangauge should do the trick.

I think my Vtuner can give me many stats if i plug it in and see while im driving.

 

Yes you can see a lot of data using the Vtuner hand held.Although all temps are in Celsius.It is a good tool to use to monitor how your car is running.You can also see how much TQ you are makeing.You just need to convert the number because it is in NM

 

Cool, thx. :goodjob:

 

ScanGauge II will work for displaying the coolant temperature. It won't display torque, though, but does horsepower, which needs torque to be calculated. Weird. Also won't display KR. I haven't had time to play around with mine.
