Coolant temp sensor moved to front of block
Is there any signifigant downside to moving the coolant temp sensor from the back housing on a 1.6 to a block off plate on the front of the engine.
This would be with a coolant route. I`m thinking it would be basically the same thing as stock. When the car is stock, there is little flow to the back of the head, where the sensor is. With a coolant re-route, now there will be less flow to the front of the head (but not as `bad` as the rear, stock).
....
If I can move it to the front, My coolant re-route will be basically free. Going to use the rubber nub blocked off port for the heater core feed (yes, I know a bit small... but whatever...) and the stock 1.6 front housing on the back pointing cold side.
I won`t have a thermosensor because I have a MS which uses the ECU to control the fans.

otherwise your temp readings will be all sorts of fucked up.
To be honest I don't think this is a good idea. Just use a spacer like just about everyone else. you can get one for cheap and retain everything just like we did. Really isn't that hard at all.
I tried to reinvent the wheel before I did my re-route too. Ran my ideas by some of the folks here and got quickly bitch slapped for trying to be Hyper.
There's a reason just about everyone here does everything very similar around here
