I just swapped in a spoon b16a into my em1. When im driving the car it never gets into the normal range its always below. I haven't really checked anything because have seen a lot of snow lately. A solution or a checklist would be great thanks.

 

make sure there even is a thermostat. maybe its stuck open

 

i thought the spoon motors run a colder thermostat? must have more coin then i do, i can hardly pay for gas...

 

yes I have heard that they run a colder thermo. from what I seen the oem honda thermo opens at 78 C and the spoon is 65 C. But even at 65 it should still be up in the normal range on a 00 si cluster correct? The only time it gets over the first white line is when I get above 9k rpm. Which has only been once because a test pipe is so stupid loud at that rpm lol.

 

sounds like you need a new thermostat. change it out for a brand new one.
