sr20det coolant tempature?

[insejn]

first off, the original gauge won't respond quick enough to go up, i had 107 degrees on mine (when she was overheating) and the needle didnt move an inch from a normal reading!

Change the position of your defi temp gauge and take it from there!

Would I be right in saying the single pin CTS (Number 15 in the pic) is for the gauge only? If so, would replacing that sensor with an aftermarket sensor and using an aftermarket gauge not make sense?



Been looking into this as I think my gauge is up the left too, but haven't got any aftermarket temp gauges at all to compare with. Temp was always perfect until I changed both CTS's in an effort to cure a flat spot, since then the temp has ran high, even after I've changed them both again! So was gonna get an adaptor (M12x1.25-1/8NPT) and run a generic temp gauge into the original location to see if its still running a bit hot. Hopefully not!!

Yep standard temp guage on the dash has a massive flat spot if it does go up your in trouble

I had the same problem as you Ian I had 50 mm rad + twin electric fans I have a Greddy temp gauge in the top hose it use to read about 10 deg higher than my PFC i went trough the same shit changing rad s using nismo low temp termostat nothing was working I taut the head was gone a few times then 2 wks ago was out messing an it finally went on me, not sayin that's what it is but sound s exactly like the way mine was going

O check Your rad cap if you havint already it could be the rubber seal gone on it too I had one fail on me a while ago I'd replace that first

But maybe what the lads are saying would want to be taken into consideration first? Your getting a reading as the coolant is coming out of the engine when its going to be at its highest temperature...

ye its gonna be a few degress higher if you have a gauge plumbed into the top hose,but shouldnt be getting tempertures that high ,did you check your rad cap yet
