Rotary Car Club - View Single Post - cool temps

I installed a temp gauge over the weekend. I tapped into throttle body hose. I have heard this line is slow to react, but it gives temps before the thermostats open - which is helpful.

My temps while driving hoover around 160-170 degrees. If I stop the car they rise to 180, but then drop down.

RP replaced my thermostat with a 180 degree unit (everything was off front of engine).

I am curious to see what temps you guys who have tapped this line are seeing. The most I have driven it is 30minutes, so may be it needs more time, but I doubt it.

In a few months I will get a PFC and get a direct comparision.
