I want to get an idea of what the average integra runs as far as temp once the car is warmed up and running.

Please state wat motor u got and where exactly it falls... like for me...

94 LS - little higher than 1/3 from left so it falls right where the edge of that one picture is on the temp guage.

 

I have a 95 ls and my needle is a about half way point from the right side and the middle

 

i have a 98 ls motor in my eg hatch and the temp needle doesn't even go up to the normal mark. it stays a little below that.

 

3/8ths

where is the normal mark? halfway on the guage?

 

About 1/4 of the way (from left (c) to right (h))

 

Not to hijack the thread but is there a way to reset the temp gauge? I accidentally bumped the needle when I had them stupid indiglo gauge installed

bleh I tried that but it doesn't seem accurate. When it over heated the needle was little over the middle part.

 

i would say mine's between 1/3 to 3/8

 

i think people should also state if they're running on what kind of radiator fluid (ie radiator fluid, water, 1/2 and 1/2, or redline fluid) I find my car runs cooler on redline and wather o yeah, its about less then 1/4.

The temp gauge should be slightly less than half. Running a higher mix of coolant to water to reduce the engine temperature to less is not recommended. Your engine is "happy" at it's normal operating temperature. Running an engine too cold is not good for it and there's no advantage in doing so. Every hear of letting your engine warm up to normal operating temperature before going wild with it? Some cars will even lower the redline until the engine gets to normal operating temperature. A 50/50 mix is what should go in the radiator. If your car runs hotter, then there is a problem with the cooling system (radiator, thermostat, sensors, etc.) and should be diagnosed by a competent mechanic.

 

yeah mine is a little before the halfway mark. I put that Prestone 50/50 Pre-diluted mix in my radiator. It's green, that's cool right?

 

91 LS. Mine is nearly half way when warmed up. I just used some generic brand of coolant I believe. Haven't had to fill up in a while so I don't know for sure.

 

i would say a lil more than 1/3
probably about 3/8's
oh yeah i have a b16 by the way

 

for some reason.....it used to be in the middle..........then i started puting mods on my car, used octane boost a couple of times, and now its inbetween the C and the half way mark

Thank you for confirming my belief.

 

I have a 95 LS and mine is at about 3/8 also. A little before the halfway point.

 

yeah, mines about at 7/16, right below 1/2 point.

 

97 gsr/b18c1

needle stays around the 1/3 mark..like this \

 

95 GSR (B18C1)

Right about 1/3

 

96 se...between a third and a half...50/50 prestone dilluted mix...new rad and fluid 3 weeks ago...
