Anyone else notice their ITR runs hot like any other honda? Even not running the car hard, my hoses and everything else seems really hot. Should i upgrade my water pump and radiator? What else can i do to keep the car cooler?

 

If the coolant temp is OK on the gauge, then it's fine.

 

yea just keep an eye on the cooling temp. I got an aftermarket radiator and fan and my **** feels hot as hell too.....all normal

 

The Gauge temp is a little below half...just wish the car was cooler

Why would you want that? Too cool is not good for the engine.

One notch below half is normal.

 

how many miles you have on your car? what kind of oil you use? and is the radiator flushed and instill new one?

Why?

 

sounds normal to me...

both of my itr's ran just a hair below the halfway mark no matter how hard the car got driven...

if the needle starts to really rise past the halfway mark, then worry.

touching the hoses wont tell you if its running to hot. but they can sure burn

 

Even with a Mugen thermoswitch and thermostat my ITR seems to run one "notch" below half (the turbo on the other hand had a mind of its own at times).

 

even my car boosted doesnt come too close to the halfway point on the gauge...
