Will a lower tempeture racing thermostat reduce engine temps ?
or just make it take a little more time to get hot?
and will it work good together with a lower temp fan switch?

isnt that what the mugen cooling mods are for. Link to it here with part numbers https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ighlight=mugen

RADIATOR CAP 19045-XGER-0000 $29.00
THERMOSTAT 19301-XGER-0000 $69.00
FAN SWITCH 37760-XK5-00N0 $45.00

 

I guess it's about the same.

So ,I should be getting a differnt radiator cap too ?

 

Yes, you have to get all three for it it to be effective otherwise the fans will come on when they shouldnt and the coolant wont be properly pressurized.

 

also, get a 1.3 lb rad cap at vato-zone. its cheaper than the mugen and it does the same shiz

 

x2

 

buy civic's turbo kit, then you get power and cooling. All the $ spent on this little crap adds up. Just save it up and do something big.

 

I apreciate the knowledge guys.
I will be ordering what I need tonight.

 

I'm doing all the little things I can think of(extra money permiting).
Althou I've been pricing transmissions and looking for engine pieces.

I made my car payment today and I'm down to $960 left to pay on the car.
when it's payed, I will be getting another car/suv or dumping some serious money into the cl.

 

and while you are doing those cooling mods, i think you should also rebuild your whole motor, so all the clearances are correct at said temp
(and don't forget the ecu program optimize it to how it would run now

 

good point. I need to stop buying stuff myself so i can save for the cm clutch.
