I also had same issues with the ktuned thermostat. I believe due to its design of being able to delete water bypass and run it on the wayer pump housing. Because they designed it for this application it does not have a dual acting thermostat. This causes overheating at idle and lower coolant temps. Changed back to oem and no problems.
yea i might have to swap back, im waiting to see how my temps behave spring and summer, if temps are good then i might leave this set up. its not my daily and isnt driven in the winter . so i think ill be alright. i also covered half the radiator and it fixed the temps dropping really low
Christopher Rogers has a complete swivel adjustment , so when running new coolant lines , you can hit any angle. also it’s has a different t stat inside that allows it to cool the engine a lot more.

Yeah u needa use a oem thermostat since it’s dual acting like you say..
can also say the same for the q300
Say what throttle cable are you running I have a tax to but the stock cable is hella long I would like a shorter one
94-01 GSR cable
whats the benefit of buying one of these k tuned thermostats? just cleaner?

Sounds like you got these issues handled, just wait time. And you can swap the ktuner chip over yourself. Just gotta do some solder
yea things are def getting better, solved some more issues i was having today. 👍
I got the Spoon Sports Thermostat
K-tuned is no bueno.
Yea sometimes no bueno
