Cliff Notes: What thermostat can i buy from the local parts store that will work in my Redtop SR20DET?
ok, so i got my redtop installed, and with a Koyo radiator none the less, and the car still gets too hot at idle, and while driving softly. I havent been hard on the car at all because i am breaking in the clutch, i havent even had it over 4k yet once, and i have only spooled like 4 or 5 times. I am using the stock electric fan, and the stock belt driven fan, so there is no reason at all for why it should be getting so hot. It also reaches full running temperature in a matter of seconds when i start it up for the first time in the morning, like 10 or 15 seconds and it is at full temp. I hope it is only the thermostat. So i need to know what thermostat i can buy at AutoZone or Pep Boys that will work in my Redtop. Thanks in advance
