I have an s52 swapped e30 with a stewart water pump, 48mm radiator, 88c thermostat, no clutch fan, spal pusher 1600 cfm
with this combination I would expect to see the aux gauge reading a solid 190F during daily driving but it does not.
I see a solid 200-210F on the aux gauge, and as high as 220F. The cluster gauge reads either dead center, or one needle width to the left of dead center. I have never seen it pass dead center. And this is with all types of driving, stop and go, highway cruising, canyon carving and IIRC even at autox it was solid at those numbers.
What do your aux gauges read when the cluster gauge shows the needle dead center/one tick to the left of dead center?
I'd like to try to determine if the gauge is reading accurately or not before I start pulling stuff apart.
