: SST operating temps?

What temperatures should I be seeing driving normally around town for 10-20 minutes? My oil temp gauge isn't budging above the bottom value of 50 degrees celcius

My SST, all stock fluid / stock cooler / etc on my RA logs around 72c (CAN logging via Evoscan) in normal driving.

However I'm not 100% if the evoscan eval and address I am using is correct.

You are welcome to log it on your car and see if the numbers correspond:

<DataListItem DataLog="N" Color="" Display="SST Transmission Temp" LogReference="SST_TM_Temp" RequestID="CAN28-0" Eval="x-50" Unit="Deg F" MetricEval="x-50" MetricUnit="Deg C" ResponseBytes="1" GaugeMin="0" GaugeMax="1000" ChartMin="0" ChartMax="1000" ScalingFactor="1" Notes="" Priority="1" Visible="False" />

I find mine depends on outside temp and how much stop and go, 10-20 minutes I normally see about 140F about 60C that is with the deep pan and front mount cooler and 28-30C outside. No fans.

thanks, bryan. Unfortunately I don't have a cable, evoscan, or a laptop for that matter.

The SSP cooler instructions have me wired so the fan is on at all times. It's been cool outside today. That plus the fan has me hoping that the tranny just isnt getting up to temp. I really hope it's not the temp gauge. Starting over would really suck.

I really just need drive the car more to find out for sure...

Yeah I wired mine so that it uses a thermostatic sensor to auto go on and off as needed based on the fluid temp.

If you want to get the temp up goto sport or super sport and make it shift up and down lots fast, like do 30-80km/h then down to 30 then back up for like 5-10 minutes if it doesn't register then I'd guess something is wrong with the gauge.

Doing that I can normally get to 170F ~76C

Well, I feel stupid now, but good. Took the car on the highway for lunch and did some hard pulls. Temp finally creeped up to 58 degrees celcius. Looks like the gauge and the cooler are working

yeah with the cooler specially since you have the fans on it'll be hard to get to your gauge temp unless you get that trans shifting lots.

You should see around 50 - 65 on the street, 90 - 100 on the track, and 120 or so on the track at lap record kind of pace. Thats what we tend to see anyway :)
