thats 88.9-90.5 according to my cellphone .
Did some acceleration tests yesterday with scanalyser & found my temps up to 96 after then going down to 86 at cruise . This is on a cool day . Wish I had done same test before UD pulley went on. Think I need this mod
edit 97.2 -99.4 for stock (see below)

Dyno Runs!
Although this product is not marketed as a horsepower upgrade here are some real world dyno results. The thumbnail below is an automatic trans. Interceptor-X tuning session from ~2 weeks ago.
During this session all the runs were started only when water temp dropped to 82c. At the end of the session I suggested we install the cooling fan control kit and do another pull, nothing else.
Without the cooling fan control kit the Interceptor-X temp. gauge would consistantly rise to 94c and the majority of the time flash 98c by the end of the run. With the kit installed the highest water temp. was 88c. Just goes to show you a cooler running rotary engine will make more power!

Have done a bit of on road testing myself and seeing better times when coolant temp is at lower end of scale - I thought I must be imagining it .

Car does run better at a certain temp. I wonder if the engine temp vs the engine bay temp is the one to look for? Or both? I was going to start monitoring engine bay temps but the weather in Ga right now is in the 80's and in the 10 mile ride to work my coolant temp doesnt even get to 190 WITHOUT the a/c on. Now if I run her a little it does but then it cools right off----so --no point in taking any readings.
The side vents could be used more in moving air

The only thing that will matter as far as performance is the coolant temp , and perhaps the intake temp . You have a cold air intake already so as long as the coolant does not go beyond a certain level - who cares what the engine bay temp is ?
