im in tx it gets hot but i wont drive the car when its 95+ outside b/c of no a/c.

so, whats a good mixture of coolant and distilled water?

I'm not sure on an exact mixture, probably your standard 50/50, but I know by adding water wetter you have a chance of seeing a decrease in temps throughout the summer. You could also install a high output fan such as FAL.

I'd say just all 100% distilled water. Worked great for me.

anyone else

i run 1 cup of 50/50 coolant 1 bottle of water wetter or purple ice and rest distilled water ... i found that if i used just distilled water and wetter i'd have to top off the coolant bottle once every week.. so i added 1 cup of 50/50 and the coolant kept that from happening.. i daily drive mine boosted gsr with a civic style rad. and use the ac . this is the best i've found so far.. i drained the cooling system totally ( disconect hoses, and heater hoses )

50/50 or premix prestone as long as every thing else is up to snuff your good to go. thats what i run and every day i sit in traffic for about an hour iat get up to 150deg. while coolant sits at 175deg.

Me and Elspol have played around with water wetter and so forth I found in the CIVIC coolant system. Use distiled water and half bottle of watter wetter and we never had a problem. But then again we do not drive in ur guys heat waves

did you know there is a reason why they recomend a 50/50 coolant water mix? its because the coolant has lubricant and anti corosion additives, if you used only only water you shorten the life of your water pump, and corode your cooling system, even though water gives the best cooling.
