Not sure if this is the right place to post this but i recently had my car tuned and it seems to run a little warm. i will try and give all the details.
first i found i had a bad rad cap so i replaced that with a 1.3 bar thinking that would help. when i say hot i mean it gets about 200-216 while driving. when i stop it quickly starts to cool. if i let it idle the car will cool down to 190 no problem. i pulled my radiator and ran a hose through it and the water seem to flow pretty good from the top and bottom. today i bought a brand new oem honda thermostat because the old one seem to be stuck open based on my defi temp gauge i have right after the tstat housing.
the only issue i have is when i cruise around, it gets warm. The needle on my gauge cluster never goes above normal but my defi gauge and hondata smanager show its getting around 200-216 consistently while driving. i have a oem style all metal copper radaitor. im wondering if the radatior is just to small.
hopefully this is enough info , let me know what you guys think.
Thanks
