couple of cooling questions
 

Okay, I am redoing my cooling system in preperation for my supercharger system im putting together.

Heres what I need to know.

What is the diameter of the radiator and water necks on the engine, im about to order some SS flex hoses.

Where can I get a low temp thermostat, or should I just stick with the stock one.

what about running without a thermostat? (while pluging the return port and putting a washer in the the stat housting to restrict flow)

no one,

I figured out the water neck size but what about the stat, can I get a lower temp one.

1.5"

Use the stock stat. Get the genuine mazda one. Mazdatrix has them for $15

I got them from summit.
