why the temp is so high>>?

[135iDCT]

when i hit my 135i (stock) hard the temp goes up to 250 f... i think it will hurt the engine in long time....or is it ok normal thing....but it's stock low boost!!

if i want to keep the temp at 230..i should drive it like a pussy....

ok now...im thinking if my car's tuned to jb3 or any tune at high boost...what the temp would be ??......about 260 or 270

plz i want to tune it what to do ?..the temp is the main problem

240-250f is normal operating temps even with a JB4 etc.

is a bigger intercooler and oil cooler will solve the problem....but how it could be this way i mean maybe the stock boost is 8 psi for n54 after tunning will hit 14 psi,,and the temp still the same are u sure!!...if it's ok ill do it.....thanx for the fast replies

An intercooler drops your intake air temperature, not your oil temperature. An additional oil cooler will drop it by maybe 5-10 degrees, so if that is worth it to you then by all means go for it.

My car has a Helix intercooler, raceland downpipes and JB4 set to either map 2 or 7 depending on my gas mixtures and I have never seen my oil temps above 250, then again I don't track my car.

You don't have a problem. 250 is normal. If you don't track your car, you don't need to worry about oil temp at all.

Check the thread I started the other day...135i cooling.Some good info on cooling sulitions.

Just wondering if you realize that the temp gauge on your dash shows oil temp not water temp?
