Obviously someone with an engineering background in motors decided that it would be wise if your 13B FI ran at 180 degrees, so much that they programmed the ecu with that temperature in mind. What are you gaining from having your cars temp flop all over the place? Nothing.

well i checked the temp of the coolant after the half hour drive home and it was at 174, only 6 degrees less than you say that the amazing mazda engineers (we can all tell theyre so amazing after they designed the FD) designed it to run at. do you think that will be a problem o' rotary genius?

How did you check the temperature?

[quote name='nopistons94' date='Jun 22 2005, 08:16 PM']how did you take the cap off without shooting burning liquid all over yourself ..
is this one of your 3 super powers ... don't lieeeee
[/quote]
it overflowed a little, the cap turns almost all the way then has to be pushed down to turn it the rest of the way so i turned it until it needed to be pushed down and let the pressure die down
[quote name='Rob x-7' date='Jun 22 2005, 08:44 PM']you went to the trouble of taking it out, should have just bit the bullet and invested the $10 in putting a new one back in
[/quote]
i was trying to find a way to get it to run cooler with the high tx temps. it only took me 5 minutes to do it so if it isnt successful i will get one and put it in.

HahHAH You ARE a ******* idiot!! Who the hell takes a coolant cap off of a hot radiator and proceeds to take the temperature of the coolant inside it to prove a point to someone he has never met on the internet?!?! Not only that but do you think that sudden collapses of pressure is good for the cooling system on your ORIGINAL motor?(i.e. brittle 225k mile coolant seals, water pump gaskets etc.)
I see that Rob is in here <waves> so if this thread needs moderation than moderate away. My point is if your gonna post in a forum other than GenD at least have a decent question/statement not some hillbilly **** like, "Hey man if yuh pull out yer thurmo-stat yer mowder runs kooler!!!"
Thanks for coming out God bless ya goodnite.

first of all i wasnt doing that to try to prove anything to anyone except myself, you say its supposed to run at 180 and i wanted to see how far off it was.
second, im not too worried about the seals, i know theyre old and if they go they go. thats why i have 2 cars, if one is broken ill drive the other.
thirdly, i dont care if you think its hillbilly, it made the engine run cooler and thats what i was going for. if you think thats hillbilly i guess you also think its hillbilly to do the tb mod and get rid of the coolant line through the tb.
like i said before, if you are so closed to new ideas you should probably find a new hobby. possibly one that includes yarn or thread, the people with those hobbies have been doing their stuff the same way forever!

Yah Im all for NEW ideas, not something every 16 y/o has done to their first car. The TB mod is great too, btw how much more power did that give you?
When I had my turbo 6 I gave a **** about doing the TB mod because it cooled my charge temps a bit, whats your reason? I was turnin wrenches on cars when you were on your moms tit, if all you can do is tell me to knit something Im done acknowledging your ignorance.

1revnrex I now understand your frustration with this person. Shane have you even read through and understood what I explained on my earlier post. How are you going to get an accurate read of your engine temperatures from the top of the radiator. That's the whole reason why the factory temperature sensor is placed right at the exit of the waterpump, to get an accurate reading of ENGINE temperature. And trust me son I've been building rotary engines for well over a decade. You can run without a thermostat that's fine but you need to plug that 1/2in hole. Trust me on that one. There are no if's, and's or but's about it. This will be my last post on this topic whether you believe me or not is not of any concern to me. I just hope others read what I have written and don't go pulling out there thermostats for no apparent reason. If you are so concerned of your cooling system not opening or not cooling enough buy a larger radiator or get a thermostat that opens at 160 degrees, they do sell them. I have a Griffin radiator dual core and the runners are 1.5in each yes it's 3in thick and over kill but my motor will never overheat. It's a highly modified 13brew turbo that is going to be running close to 30psi boost pressures and heat will be a major problem but not for me and yes I still run a THERMOSTAT on it.
