Your "normal" AFR would depend on if you are naturally aspirated or boosted? Your temp kinda depends on what temp thermostat you have installed and if you're reading off the dash NORMAL gauge or an aftermarket gauge?

Naturally aspirated l, mine is after market it usually reads like 210-230F

The one in the dash is usually all the way towards the top and the aftermarket water temp one I have is like 210-230F.

I have 2 dual fans in the front aswell

Normal range for AFR I believe is between 11.x-14.x. Your temps shouldn't exceed 200* IMO. What temp thermostat do you have installed? What temp do you have your fans setup to turn on at? What fan controller?

The fans are on as soon as the car starts.

I would think 210 would be the hot side of normal. Anything over that and you have cooling issues. 230 is definitely pushing your safety net.

I also got phantom ii auto meter water temp guage

Any chance you can put the stock clutch fan back on?

I just bought the car like this a couple weeks ago

 

[stykthyn]

I would try to burp the cooling system to see if there's any air trapped inside.

How would I be able to do so, Could you please explain. I'm not too familiar with this kinda stuff

Thanks alot

Jack the front of the car up so the radiator cap is the highest point. Turn on the heater and remove the rad cap. Start the car and let it run. When the thermostat opens any air trapped inside will be forced to move upwards and exit out the cap. Keep an b eye on your engine temps.

Ok I will try that and one thing I noticed in my engine bay is lots of white splash marks, seems to be some sort of oil ? There is no leaks or anything but I was warming it up and revved to like 5000-6000 rpm? Where could that came form
