    I was just wondering if anyone knows if it is 30% or 50% coolant for a B16A? I have to do the SiR's system and turbos and 8s seem to be doing 50% but I'm not sure.

    Cheers
    Pete

    i'm not sure about the climate there, but does it get down to -30 to -50? i wouldn't worry about going 50 50 then. i'm sure you could do either mixture and be fine.

    Ummm... measured in Celsius, winter will drop to -3 or so, in summer it hits 40+ and it's averaging 30-36 at the moment.

    I should have gone and bought the Honda genuine stuff I guess tongue

    I just used 50/50 which was recommended in my manual for my old motor...so it should be the same on a b16a smile I think you would be safe using either mixture. smile
