Evening yaw'll

I have a B16 that literally takes just 5min to get up to temp. The real brain teaser is that it doesn't over heat. Stays dead set in the middle.

I've tried using another set of dials but that brought about the same results.

Any ideas?

cheers
 
5 mins driving? Sounds pretty normal to me. Mine gets to normal on a short drive
 
Sounds about right to me my b18 heats up pretty quickly, that's with a skunk2 ally rad and spoon thermostat fitted too.

I would have thought with a ally rad it would take longer to warm up.

My brothers EM1 and other B16's took at least 10min to get up to temp

Car doesn't overheat and rad fan kicks in just fine so issues, just find it peculiar
 
If your that concerned change out the thermostat and change coolant with oem Honda parts for piece of mind.
 
Mine will make that in less than 5mins easy.
Turbocharger though.
 
Mine takes 5min to heat and temp gauge bang in the middle and stays there no matter how much i spank that little beast :beer:

I say your engine is quite in the norm! ;)
 
I guess it's normal after all. Still find it peculiar

Might change my thermostat and and coolant for peace of mind.

Thank you all for your in puts :)
 
Use type 2 blue coolant from Honda and thermostat.
