What should I do with my G35 Turbo?

What should I do with my G35 Turbo?

Your turbocharged G35 needs an upgraded engine management system that can balance the additional air-flow and fuel demand. We recommend getting the turbo installed, and engine tuned by a professional who has years of experience. Having it done on a dyno will give you the best results – both for performance, economy and reliability.

What should the running temperature be on a diesel engine?

A 5C difference will have a discernable effect given a reasonable running period. The diesel is a cool running engine and would benefit (IMO) from a higher rated thermostat than the nominal 88C standard. With a new 88C stat, diesels seem to run around 88-92C, but rarely higher. In stationary traffic all engines will heat up, diesels included.

Which is the best engine for a G35?

Both the VQ35DE and VQ35HR engines are works of art. The stock crank, heads and cams are strong enough to take a lot more power than what the engine already makes. These engines, when stock, can handle up to 400whp on OEM internals.

Why is the air intake temperature higher in a turbocharged engine?

The liquid at the higher temperature exchanges heat with the cooler liquid and this process maintains critical temperatures. On a turbocharged engine, we can add another variation: using seawater to reduce the engine air intake temperature.

What should the engine temp be on a Chevy Duramax?

WRONG! I drove both trucks until reaching normal operating temperature and then used my laser temperature gauge on the motor itself to see it was exactly 195 degrees or less (reading from a variety of locations) and the gauge erroneously read 210 ( on my 2009). Both temp gauges I readjusted to read correctly.

What should the engine temp be in a 2004.5 LLY?

Just got a 2004.5 LLY and have a question on the normal running temperature. Seems to be the average temperature is the half way mark between 210 and the far left mark. If I go up a large hill the engine will get up to 210 and stay there for a little while after leveling off the hill before settling back down to that middle notch.

What should the coolant temperature of an engine be?

Engine coolant has to remain warm enough to stay fluid so it can be pumped through an engine. Water alone won’t work; it will freeze too quickly. Coolant with a 50/50 mix of water and ethylene alcohol (anti-freeze) can function at temperatuares as cold as negative 36 degrees Fahrenheit.

How to check engine temperature after a drive?

To verify the actual engine temperature, check if the top hose to the radiator is hot after a drive. Thermostats normally open at around 80-90°C and the hose will only get hot once the thermostat has opened. Point is that the sensor is reading fine at low temperatures.
