anyone else I know someone here has some sound advice.
BTW what I've done so far is, put prestone chemical in the coolant and let run for 20 mins. Drain coolant and ran water through to make sure all coolant was clear and out.
put in 50 distilled water and 50 green coolant and half a bottle of water wetter. removed the coolant bleeder bolt and watch coolant pour out and put bolt back on. After that I use the yellow funnel kit and let run till all air bubbles came out. Make sure heater was on full blast and it was blowing hot, put cap on and went for a drive. That day wasn't very hot like others and drove for about 20 mins and temps were 180 190. Highway stayed there between 180 195. When I got off the exit ramp and pulled into gas station I lifted the hood to check for leaks and use the tool to read top of radiator was 176 the front of condenser was 202 and thermostat hose area was like 195. While sitting there my gauge got to like 210 215 but its never went higher then 220 at a point because I shut it down. This is all while I have two electric fans on they seem to stay on also. Also I have a Nissan sentra thermostat and they are rated at 80 Celsius which converts to 176 while stock sr20det is rated at 76.5 which converts to 169.
