Coolant flow.

ok i tried searching but i got nuthin so...


how much flow is required through the throttlebody coolant line? if i restrict it by using a T and a water temp sensor (the opening in the T is pretty small with the sender installed) How much flow is too little and will it affect anything?

thx

not sure if it will afect flow, on mine i eliminated the throttle body coolant, then i drilled & tapped my sensor into the water pump just under the coolant level sensor, fits & works good there. there is a good step by step on rob robinett's rx7 site.

Should be OK. Not much flow needed.

As mentioned, it's not a problem as many people do it:
