carfreak85 Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Gosh those idle rpms you have seem really high! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveman09 Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 I have the idle at 900-1000rpm for a few good reasons : Better Cooling (more coolant flow and fan turns faster) since I drive the motor hard the extra cooling helps keep the motor cooler. More power from alternator since I have a 700watt stereo system ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeky Moose Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 your oil pressures are dead on with what i get with my RX.. i too have my idle set at about 800-900 rpms.. no clutch fan on my car, just the stereo i rarely see my temp gauge go above 1/4 on the gauge..
