    why would you want it there?
    why not stick it where it belongs, on top of thermostat housing.

    because he's using a civic radiator... the way i did it (or going to do it) is still like we talked about with the splicing of the hose and welding a nut onto a piece of conduit and putting the new temp sensor their... but if you're using the same one i could never figure out how to reuse it.

    just to clearify, im not using a civic half size cause i should be able to have enough room for a decent sized turbo with an OEM rad. the temperature sensor i wanna put in that hole is actually for when i use megasquirt. for now, itll be a place for an aftermarket temperature sensor, but soon to be for the megasquirt sensor
