Alright so I have a fully built 9:1comp redtop sr20det into s14. I just got the car tuned and got the car home by trailer to make some repairs etc. Finally got some things buttoned up and went for a drive. I have prosport gauges for oil temp, oil pressure, water temp. Now I went for a drive for about 10 mins, no hard drive maybe boost one gear and cruise on the highway to get off and turn around. I noticed my water temp got to 220 and my oil temp bounced from 260 to 300. I borrowed a friends milwaukee temp gun and let the car run after it cooled off some time and the top of radiator reads 150 and front of the condenser reads 175 to 180. Oil temp reads 165 so I ruled out my oil temp sensor on the pan must be reading wrong but I'm mostly focused on my water temp. I have ISR dual fans with shroud, 50 coolant(green) 50 distilled water and half a bottle of water wetter. When my fans kick on they stay on and never turned off. I'm running an Se sentra thermostat, my question to others is what's a good coolant temp I should be running at and how else can I get this too cool off. Any help is welcomed and helpful please.
