Default What temp. thermostat should my car be using.

I have a 94 Honda Civic with Si motor. I blew my radiator and replaced it but now the lower hose is cold. I believe my thermostat is gone now. I went to autozone but they have different temperature thermostat. Which one is for my Si motor. Thank you.

mine has a 180 degree in my b16. no problems. once it gets near halfway on your temp gauge it will open. it scared me at first too but it wont hurt anything i promise (hundreds and hundreds of miles have confirmed this)

Your fan should kick on at 190 so 180 is fine. I run a 170 spoon thermal sending unit and spoon 170 thermostat.
