What rear end do you have? 3.55, 3.73? I have the 3.15 rear end in the aluminum housing and I have never experienced any overheating form the rear diff. Granted I am almost positive I am not pushing as hard as you on track. But wondering if the aluminum really does a better job at cooling that its steel counterpart.
The 3.55 in my base model makes WAY less heat than the 3.73 Torsen. Both overheat eventually
3.55 Torsen with A10. Loads of fun on track.
There is no physical ECT sensor in our cars from what I understand. Having said that, I have ECT data displayed on obd2 app dashboard (guess it's calculated though).
Excellent. Or at least better than nothing. It can be directional if nothing else.
I realized that too using Race Capture via OBDII. So for learning purposes, what is the significance of knowing ECT when you have CHT available which is an actual sensor?
You may be right there. I know oil temp is calculated. And ECT is (at a minimum) heavily managed for display purposes. Is CHT the only real sensor in the engine temp group with all the others derived?
Right. Diff and transmission temp, too. Any other temp sensors?
