    quick temp question

    Whats the average temperature that the M50 runs at? I have an aftermarket temp gauge and im just trying to make sure im not over heating or anything like that. I know M50s run a little hotter than M20s but how much?

    Any info helps!

    Thanks

      LoL, this would be good information for me to know. With my car, I have the fan running all the time, with an 88ยบ thermostat and it sits at midway. Before with the m20 I would only heat up to 1/4 of the way.

      I need some real answers though.

        You should be within 5 degrees of your thermostat temperature.

              Down here in LA I usually see temps of about 180. Give or take a little depending on temperature and traffic.
