I then drove for a while and when I got home I took a reading while the car was on.I then turned the car off and waited a good 10-15 mins while the temp cooled down to take the other readings.Why you ask?what are you trying to say? I didn't drive long enough? not at all, I was just trying to get a like-for-like comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burkey05 Member 76 Member For: 10y 10m 2d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 01/08/14 08:06 AM Share Posted 01/08/14 08:06 AM ok. I took a reading from the turbo oil feed line, on the passenger side nearest the block.http://I think this may be a better place to get a readingchanged the equation to;(((A*256)+B)*3)/68reading was, after an hour 1/2 shut offtorque 44c IR gauge 43cI'll take more readings as it cools down and then when its hot tomorrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burkey05 Member 76 Member For: 10y 10m 2d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 05/08/14 04:20 AM Share Posted 05/08/14 04:20 AM Well I have been using your equation burkley05 and the EOT is lower than the coolant, by almost 20 degrees.Does that sound right?yeah, that's about what mine shows. which is what the IR thermo was showing(still not sure if that's how or where we should be measuring it though)your post from earlier with the Forscan EOT readings seems to say otherwiseWent for a drive. keep in mind that it can take up to 30 seconds to a minute to swap between torque and forscan. I am not sure how accurate this is.Results:Torque -------------- Forscan70 degrees -------------- 93.0 degrees78 degrees -------------- 95.6 degrees77 degrees -------------- 94.0 degrees75 degrees -------------- 93.1 degrees74 degrees -------------- 91.9 degreesPlease remember that you can not have both Torque and forscan running at the same time.so im a bit lost on what readings to go by(I would lean towards the forscan readings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
