Mine still runs at the same temp after the mishimoto install, another bad thing about the radiator is that i cant keep the cap from leaking...on my third cap, gonna try a ford one today before the dynotune tomorrow, i think thats why it still runs warm because it's not holding the pressure inside
If the cap is leaking there is something wrong with the mating surface, I have a stock 16# cap if you want to test it.
I would love to test that cap...how do i go about getting it from you?? Im going to be at Powertrain dynamics at 9:00 a.m if thats close to you.
I thought I remember reading that the stock cap will not fit the Mishimoto radiators, it uses a different size cap. Hopefully I'm wrong as I have one of these radiators coming in a day or two.
It will all depend upon how overworked the old radiator was Michael. The better question would be: are people able to stay very close to their t-stat rated temp (assuming the fan control works in concert with a given t-stat).
Ideal would be to have the coolant stay at about 5*F higher than the stat rating at all times (if using a balanced stat). That would mean the radiator can reject all the heat that is tossed into it.
I dont know about interpolating the stock gauge though. The RT guys can really help with that.
Good luck.

Is a 195* t-stat with the fan settings able to stay around a temp of 195*?

It would be Ideal if the coolant temp were to stay within 5* of the t-stat rating. Ex. 180* t-stat the temp should stay around 185*

I have been searching and searching, and I can't seem to find how many degrees the temperature drops after installing an aluminum rad such as th Mishimoto which I just recieved. I'm not interested in where on the NORMAL gauge it reads, thats all I can seem to find, and that doesn't help me. Thanks!
Thanks guys, well I've been running around 215-220 on a regular basis now weather its hot or cold out. It seems to stay closer to around 215ish when its cooler out, but when its hot and im on the highway, it will go up to i guess 228 where the high speed fans come on which is way too hot for comfort. I guess my next question is, does anyone have a writeup for installing manual fan switches?
