Also I have notices about a 5-10 degree difference with running tap water vs. pure distilled water as well. There are some variances but when I checked the temps, the ambient air temp was about the same, same engine setup, same driving characteristics. etc etc.

Yeah I don't think a Nismo thermostat will be worth it for my DD then.

Now when I say idling, I'm not saying idling for half an hour, I'm saying less then 2 minutes when I pull into the garage or stand on a stop light hehe.

Oh man it finally hit me, that explains the added temperatures!

your current turbo is not water cooled(if your still running the 18g turbo). Also you can't say that your car would not run cooler with out the turbo, but not as much fun to drive.

yea the godspeed is just like a older style koyo.. but it has 1 inch hose inlet and outlet.. you can buy the adapter to make it fit with your sr hoses.. but what i did last month i took the radiator to mexico and had them reomve the 1 inch inlet and weld in the 1-1/4 inlet iirc that was the size...

you can find them on ebay for 150 shipped and 3 year warranty..
