attention you 1/2 radiatEr's..
 
what thermostat are you running?
what coolant fluid? 50/50 antifreeze/water, wetter water mix?
are your temps normal?

Im currently running a koyo half size raidiator aluminium with 50/50.. I have slight coolant temp issues with the stock thermostat. the needle moves up about 2-3 needle sizes when it opens it falls right back to stock.. however this is at 65 degree outside temp.. During the day it will be well over 80-100 degrees on average. Heat indext will be 90-110.. stay away from the south..

Would the mishimoto 145 degree t-stat be too low? anyone else using this?

I was leaning more towards the ralliart 171 degree t-stat but i would like evom's input before i take a stab at it.

Anyone with helpful advice would be great. Thanks.

*this is not my daily driver just a weekend toy but i would like to drive atleast 20 miles with out any issuse..
