I was installing my Koyo radiator today and I don't know what the other hole next to the lower radiator hose is- it is threaded and about 3/4"
Does anyone know what this is for? If it's not for anything I was considering putting a coolant sensor in it and running that to it's own guage, BUT would I get a proper reading of the engine's temp from there? Or can/should I just find a plug for it? Thanks-Daniel -------------------- If anyone is missing NASCAR and it's not on Speed Channel, take a fistful of Skittles, throw them in the toilet and hit the flush handle. Instant NASCAR!!!

there should be a temp sensor on your old radiator right there. you probably have to swap it over. that sensor is what tells your radiator fans to come on .

My car doesn't have the sensor?, I think because it is an ST -
I know other people have this radiator on an ST,What did you guys use? I'm thinking of just buying a temp.sensor for the GT and running it to an aftermarket guage-will that work without any complications? -------------------- If anyone is missing NASCAR and it's not on Speed Channel, take a fistful of Skittles, throw them in the toilet and hit the flush handle.

If you really cant find a place to plug in a sensor, just plug it.
