2LT operating temp?
hey guys, jus turboed my 2L and put a coolant guage on and coolant temp sits about 95deg C. jus wondering what the normal operating temp of a 2LT is, my cooling systems all new except viscus fan. my mates runs at about 80 - 85 dec C jus seems alot cooler than mine? any helps good, cheers.
Re: 2LT operating temp?
mine runs at aboput 85 90 with a fucked fan
Re: 2LT operating temp?
85-90 deg. is what mine used to run at.
I would guess the hub has leaked a little fluid it's not locking up as well as it used to.
Do yourself (and engine) a favour and buy a new viscous hub or buy a couple tubes of hub fluid from Toyota & new O ring seal to rebuild your hub so it works properly again.
Also a 5LE fan is same size and bolts up to existing hub with 1 extra blade to move more air. 1HZ fan will also fit hub, but needs to be trimmed down or new shroud made.

Re: 2LT operating temp?
a standard tridon thermostat for the 2L opens up at 89 degrees as per what is stamped on it.
Mine hovers around that mark, goes up higher when giving it some up big hills and running boost for a long time. My turbo is water cooled as well though.

Possibly, waterpump was for a 3L & hub was the std one.
