Engine Oil & Coolant Temperatures

[ToadFish]

Hi all
Was wondering what oil and coolant temperatures everyone is running?
I recently did a 2TC conversion in my KE55 Corolla
The engine has en fitted with a large cam and I'd say higher compression
But I affordable a mate and don't know the exact specs
Anyway I put a thermostat in it as food it wasn't running one and was wondering if the temps are normal
As the seem they may be a bit high to me.
Coolant runs between 85-90 degrees C, this has an upgraded 3 core alloy radiator aswell
Does seem to get quite warm under load sometimes too
But the oil temp runs at at least 100 degrees C and can climb when under load to like 120 degrees C
Is this normal? Does seem quite high to me
Oil pressure is good at 90psi most of the time
Also does anyone run a larger ID thermostat for more flow or a cooler one?
Thanx in advance

Todd,
with a raise in compression the motor will run warmer. You did the best thing i would do is to put a bigger radiator and a thermostat. i would invest in a oil cooler so the oil( the blood of the motor) will stay cooler than what it is.your temp seems good as ive run them hotter on certain applications. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.
