Getting there with the bug project but could do with a couple of questions answered.

Please can anyone tell us what the Oil Temp, Oil Pressure and Water temp should be on a 1993 legacy turbo engine?

Searched for ages and the only one we could find was Oil temp.

80-90 deg on normal driving and 110-120 deg on spirited driving/traffic.

Does that sound about right and can anyone help with the others?

Thanks

Mark

 

Hi there i got an Tims oil temperature gauge in my bugeye WR1 my readings 88-90 normal driving and 110 120 in traffic. Ive been told this is right so far.

Hey where in Hampshire are ya?

 

My UK97 runs Oil pressure at cold of 7 bar witch drops to about 4 bar at idle when warm.
Oil temp runs about 90 deg C on cruise , more on a hard run or in traffic.
I think water temps are about 90-95 deg C
IIRC the fan comes in at about 98 deg C


Hope that gives you something to work on

 

Thanks for that, really appreciate it!!!!

I'm down near Portsmouth, sold my Subaru about a month and a half ago now though. Want to buy a house instead. The questions are for a friend of mine who is just about there with putting the legacy engine in his 1974 bug. The amount of work that has gone into it is amazing!!!

Thanks again
