edit: OP what radiator + efan setup are you using?
But he want's to know why he's getting shitty MPG not how efficient his radiator is. Cluster sensor is right next to the ECU sensor.


S13 cluster with a S14 motor. Are you using a S13 sender(1 wire) for the cluster?
The 2 wire should match the ECU and the 1 wire should match the cluster(s13/s14).

I noticed a major improvement on warmup going from a 160 to the stock 180. A lot of the low temp thermos have a much different opening curve than an oem style.
