    Open loop, closed loop temperature?

    Already told you I was going back to a 195* stat what else do you want from me? I mean I figured that would finally make you happy but I guess you just can’t please everyone. The rest of the conversations have actually been somewhat constructive or atleast I thought they were… not sure where I...

    Open loop, closed loop temperature?

    Understood but to me it would make sense to have the determined temperature set below the stock stat temperature of 195*. I have driven many different vehicles in very cold conditions with the coolant temp making big temp swings as the thermostat opens and close which very well could be...

    Open loop, closed loop temperature?

    Makes sense, I wasn’t sure if they the considered full operating temperature at a lower set temperature due to different drive conditions/ driving temperatures.

    Open loop, closed loop temperature?

    This is the main reason for my question… could I squeak a little more performance out of it by going up in temp a little bit. I’m not sure if the tuning maps can change with temps. On newer vehicles and a lot of people we race with have maps with temp changes. With older vehicles on stock tuning...

    Open loop, closed loop temperature?

    Maybe the way I was thinking was wrong I was under the impression that it will never see closed loop without the coolant temp seeing a certain degrees which I never did see a solid answer on at what temp that was. Honestly it runs fine now I was just seeing if anything would change by going to a...

    Nope putting a brand new shinny 195* in it.

    Open loop, closed loop temperature?

    Again the overheating didn’t happen in Colorado but that’s neither here nor there and the question asked was at what temp these go into to closed loop. Mainly just asking a simple question cause I haven’t seen a solid answer to that question but I guess this has to spin to everything I’m doing...

    Open loop, closed loop temperature?

    There is a difference in running no stat and a lower temp stat… if a 15* change in coolant temp will change the cylinder temp enough to drown the bottom end with gas then we have bigger problems… cat? What’s a cat?

    Open loop, closed loop temperature?

    I know how a thermostat works and this didn’t happen in Colorado. I get it you can stop worrying I’ll go back to a 195* stat…

    Open loop, closed loop temperature?

    I understand where you’re coming from and what you’re trying to say I’m just seeing different results on the high end. Maybe my 195* was junk and that was causing the over heating issue who knows but I do know my 160* stat hasn’t been above 170* in the same exact conditions and place as I was...

    Open loop, closed loop temperature?

    Doesn’t threaten me at all, I asked a simple question that could of had a simple answer but the majority of the replies didn’t at all answer the question at hand but that’s on me for even bring that part up in my question. In all honesty I don’t get why there is even an argument if supposedly...

    Open loop, closed loop temperature?

    Sorry man was just pointing out some people have different opinions on what they do with there rigs lol… either way everything is going to be new in the system, it will be flushed and since apparently anything outside a 195* stat is a crime I’ll go ahead and put a 195* stat back in so I stop...

    Open loop, closed loop temperature?

    Guess I wasted a lot of your time by making you type out that long winded response to everything I was having an open mind about. Sorry for wasting your time sir I will put a 195* stat in since being actually open minded is a no no on this forum I guess.
