What kind of coolant temps should a turbo warrior & a turbo vector be running? Both front mount turbos. Also what is the so called "dangerous" temp # to watch out for?
Thanks guys!

Ps. By the way I am (or should I say was) a die hard cat triple man. I am jumping into these yamaha turbo 4 strokes with both feet. And loving it! :) Any help would be appreciated in this subject
 

Man are you in for a treat!! Not to sure on temps dont have a gage. But i did add a rear heat exchanger! I think it should be done to every Turbo!!

Skydog P.S. Have you rode them yet!!! :Rockon: :yam: :4STroke:
 
skydog,
I know.so far i am loving it! I only have very little "test & tune" time in right now. getting clutching etc. etc. Even so..........it's looking sweet ! :) I am trying to gain as much info as I can right now. So I can have a good datum lne on all the "vitals"!
Thanks man,
Dave

skydog,
I am running a double gasket, 50/50 mix with sunoco 110 (purple) & only up to 10lbs boost right now. I will slowly go up 1lb at a time & check things out closely. It's looking right now I will probably be able to go up to 13-14lbs of boost on this set up without any problems. As long as we don't take any really long blasts...like over 2000'. I really would like to know what coolan temps you guys are experiencing. So I can set up my own guages & warning light levels.
They do FLY!!!!!!!!!!
 
temp

snowcat1k,

140-160 under normal operation(short 500-700' trail bursts) 175 maybe on a long lake pull. Danger or at least pay attention temp is >175<200. And 200+ is trouble Or you have an air bubble and you need to find a steep hill let the sled sit on an incline and idle it on and off for 5-10 min.
