hi i have installed 4 defi gauges boost,oil prs,oil temp and water temp so i wanted to know what are the normal driving temps

two days back weather was cold so this was the reading

oil pressure 3.1 bar on idle (peak9.01 bar)
oil temp 62c (peak 72c)
water temp 55c after driving on idle (peak 68c)

today weather is 25 c not so cold so water temp is showing 70c and climbs to 80c

because i have used gauges for the first time on sr20det
cooling setup are
sard blue copper radiator
nissan electric fan dual
oem thermostat
no oil cooler


feedback is appreciated and please spare my english

That sounds about normal...your oil pressure should drop a bit once the oil gets hot. Water temp, where do you have the sensor at? Usually 100 is about the max I'd let it go. For oil temp, thats about where your normal operating temp is. Biggest thing you have to watch out for is dont let the oil get close to 120. 120 is about where oil starts cooking and breaking down.
