Are these track coolant temps acceptable?
 
Hi all,

Got a JR Dual Rad/OC put in. In a fairly hot day (70F and very sunny) the cooler did its job and kept the oil at around 230F the whole time on a stock power 2018. I noticed that the coolant was hanging out around 210. I don't have the data logged, but I think it might have had some peaks at 220.

Is this within acceptable range? I assume the coolant temp is higher than when the car was stock without an OC because I am now putting more heat into the system from the oil.

Fans are working fine and I tried pretty hard to salvage the stock rad air blocking foams as much as I could (but it's not perfect)

I think it`s acceptable. Slightly higher water temp than i would have thought from the system, But as you said
In similar ambient temp I`m seeing 195 water and 222 oil. Stock rad and a dual pass oil filter

210/230? Totally acceptable.

Add hood vents for even more cooling, and you can also blast your heater (AC off) as well.
