If your car never gets anywhere close to freezing temps you don't need any coolant for its antifreeze properties at all, just corrosion protection. I've been running water wetter and 25% coolant/75% distiller water for years. It's really important to get all of the air out of the system to cool efficiently.

I'm waiting for one to be made. Yes some water of course would run in but nothing crazy.

Waking this up from the dead. So I did two coolant flushes (25% coolant), changed my thermostat with another stock one (rockauto) and added water wetter. Safe to say my car been the coolest it ran during my tenure of owning it. My good friend claimed that it was a faulty thermostat (not opening all the water) it also could've had air pockets. I bought a lisle spill free funnel (eBay) to burp the air out of the coolant passage way for over an half hour. I'm a happy camper to see 190°-200° temperatures.

Months later and the coolant flush served a great purpose. My temps don't go above 205°. I did get a CF seibon vented hood I've yet to install but it'll serve more of a purpose when I turbo my G. Still think it'll look good though

Water Wetter reduces water's rather strong surface tension. This surface tension can allow steam bubbles to form in the head, especially around the exhaust valve. Once steam has formed, no more additional cooling for that spot or spots.
It's been quite awhile since I looked into Water Wetter, can't remember if it does anything better than glycol. I do remember I couldn't use it (or glycol, for that matter) on road courses. Really slippery stuff if there's a coolant loss.
Proper glycol:water ratio and higher-pressure coolant system cap should be sufficient for any street driving.

Mishimoto
i got the stillen oil cooler. I got the zspeed under shroud. Does anyone have the mishimoto thermostat? (I know gofightnyugen, mishimoto is garbage.) does it make the engine "too cold" like some claim? Has it failed on anyone? What are your average coolant temps after installation?
What about the csf radiator and condenser? Is it hard to install? Is it worth the $600? What are your average coolant temps after installation?
Any other tips or mods to improve cooling of the engine?
I live in constant 70-90° degree weather all year round and drive at 30mph on average. The car's average mph is 10.9 mph at 10.5 mpg. My intake temps are always in the 80s and my coolant temps be between 220°-240°
I would prefer 180-200° ... Any advice?
