He was already told in his thread that it is a stupid idea, but I guess he did it anyway.
Congratulations of fixing a problem that shouldn't have existed in the first place and gaining nothing in return.

You can laugh all you want.
Temp balance was checked with an IR gun. Stock way #4 is hottest as obvious.
Driving with the reroute the temps are more or less BALANCED through out.
Means #1 and #2 run hotter but as long as I'll see less than 212 at the track I don't care.
I was never a believer of terms like "may" or "could happen" like many of you use. Show me facts.
I run with UG and the temps are fine. No leaks whatsoever.

I'm thinking to reroute, but have a few questions...
I know its a pretty old thread but if anyone here can give a few pointers, it would greatly help. I tried looking on this thread in the coolant reroute and under race prep, but I couldn't quite find my specific question. I want to go and reroute the cooling, I've seen some videos, and have done countless of searches and read different options, but I have a concern. If I go megasquirt, will I still need the connection/wiring to the temp sensors? I've seen some videos requiring to extend the wiring, and then others just leave the sensor open. Is that because the megasquirt already reads engine temps? I know that when going MS, you're able to delete, or properly said, remove the Air mass flow sensor, but I'm not sure how it works in terms of cooling. The car currently is stock, 94 1.8 motor, eventually I want to go SC, and plans for car are weekend drives, cruise, meets/shows, occasional track days, and power golas between 200-220 WHP. I don't want to do it all in one shot, I'm taking it one-step at a time. If there is a thread with this , I'm really sorry in advance, and any redirecting would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
