Sorry to bring this back up... If I leave the car to idle when the car is warm (stop lights etc), the temps on my aftermarket gauge goes to around 80-85c which seems to be the average temp for k20 engines based on what i've read; however when i start moving about 60km/h or more, it drops to about 65-70c. The temp sender is placed on the upper radiator hose. First I thought it was just the wind going thru grill and cooling the sender, so i blocked it off with cardboard so no wind is going through it and it still drops...
The oem dash gauge doesn't fluctuate and stays in its position when its warmed up like in the picture i posted a few pages back, so I don't think it's the factory coolant temp sensor, since from my understanding that only sends the temps to the dash gauge. Possibly a stuck open thermostat?
If your thermostat was stuck open I'm pretty sure your radiator fan would be constantly on. Had this happen on another car before though it wasn't a Honda.
I would have thought if it was stuck partially closed the fans would be on alot and my temps would be reading higher but the fans function just fine. Just thought mine was open causing overcooling thus reading cooler temps
Guess i'll replace the thermostat when i do my radiator flush on my next service; Just have to find the part no for it. The DC5 thermostat the same isn't it?
Hey guys, anyone able to tell me what the go is with hondata. So dam confused hey haha.
Do we send our ecu off too them? Because thats inconvenient as f*ck. Just wondering as I may end up going down that path in a couple of months time. I'm on Perth btw, so anyone in Perth who experienced hondata and tuning.. please speak up:)
Being my first aftermarket ecu and having the car stay n/a. Haltech would be way to complicated and half the options I wouldn't even use. Hondata would be more user friendly I would think, including basic but needed options to street tune your car. Unless with your Haltech experience you can tell me otherwise:) although.. I haven't found a hondata knowing tuner in Perth yet.. so this may become a problem ha
A heap better in what sense though?
