Water temp (AA3 - K24Z7)

wonder if you have air in your system preventing it from working properly

That has been a problem in the past with one or two cars. I even experienced it with mine at one stage. Bled the system at the small tap in the top of the radiator. Now runs at 190 mostly. Worst is sitting just after a long hard run (e.g. at lights after just coming off the motorway) where it can reach 205. My fan has a manual override switch that is a good idea.

Now that it's getting warmer in San Diego, my temp has been hitting 195-200 more than I would like. I've looked for a 160 thermostat, but the only aftermarket one I've found was a Mishimoto 140. I don't want to go that low. Does anybody know where I can get a 160 that will fit the k24? Also, does anybody know what temp the 2012 civic si runs at?

Had a tiny hole in the coolant pipe that required the whole system to be drained and refilled to replace it. So unless I had an air in my system and then after a complete refresh of the system still have air in it I would suspect 200 is normal.

I can now report that at 225F the "WT" flashes. I was at around 9,000ft and climbing and it was about 95F air temp.

Car didn't skip a beat and easing off for just a few seconds quickly drops it back to ~205F

I've hit 215* today on the track and I get a warning. The SRA lights up the last two red rev meter lights to show the warning.

A bit early to show a warning at that low of a temperature. Quite annoying as it interferes with the rev meeter. Maybe 230* would be better.
