Engine Running Cold: Because Of Upgraded Rad or No Thermostat?
So I installed a water temp gauge and it wont go past 130F
Is that because of my Koyo Rad? Or maybe because I have no thermostat? Or is my gauge ******* up? My stock temp gauge doesn't work...
Is that a problem anyhow?

get an infra-red temp meter and after you've had you car running for a little while (to when you think it shoudl be at operating temp) test the radiator with it. that will tell you if your new guage is bad or not... $20 from a local hoby shop. i use mine on my nitro cars to test how they are running.
