Can’t seem the find the answer anywhere else, what should my cylinder head temperature sensor be at because everytime I drive my k swap the gauge will be reading normal but kpro is telling me that my cylinder head temp sensor will sometimes get to about 216 degrees, is that normal or should my cht be at 190?

 

186 is the target temp at the coolant temp sensor in the head. Matches the thermostat temp.

The gauge cluster temperature gauge is pretty dead and shows normal from ~150 to ~220.

One of my swaps would get hot going down the highway with a worn out half radiator in a 300k mile Insight. Went to a full width Integra radiator with custom end tanks and now it almost runs too cool.

 

Really? Ok I might have to invest in a bigger radiator but I didn’t think I needed one because it’s in a mr2 so it already has a full size

 

Is it a healthy radiator or is it the stock 30 year old original?

Could also be a flow issue with all the extra coolant lines from back to front.

 

Ever figure out your issue? Think I’m having the same issue. K24a in an sw20. After about 30 minutes of driving hondata is reading 218.

 

haven’t but I think I sorted it to my coolant leaks
