What’s the temperature outside where your at? I finished the swap when it was just barely 60° out and only a few times was I able to get the car warm enough (in the garage) to kick the fans on. Since then it has been in the 40’s and I haven’t seen above 160°. When it was still 60° outside I got on the highway and the temps dropped down to the 130°’s. I’m on a stock radiator. It acts just like my “stock” B16b civic, will not warm up enough to even blow heat no matter how long I drive or let it idle. I think the Honda engines are just super efficient at staying cool.
As for your DBW issues, that’s an odd one. I run a Grams 72mm for the 86 and it’s been fine. I see about 3% tps at idle, not sure if this is normal or not.
-not sure if this is allowed, but if anyone wants a Red Kpower valve cover for the 86 send me a message. Decided to go a different route.

60s I believe was temp. Sitting and getting heat soaked in the garage it opens fine. When I'm driving it down the road it's just not getting enough heat to open the thermostat but enough to kick on the fans? I get hot air into the cabin just fine because anything on the passenger side all the way to the thermostat is hot. The only thing not hot is the lower rad hose. Maybe I'm just not getting it hot enough and it's a non issue like you say. The problem I see is that the fans can't get the car cool enough when pulled back into the garage to shut off. Then it just hovers at 96 c with the fans never shutting off. They are programmed to shut off around 88 c if I remember correctly but it can't seem to get anywhere near low enough.
DBW percentage is 3 percent at idle or even not running. I'll keep messing with it and try to make it trip up again in a more controlled environment. I'd like to disable it going into limp mode but need to do more research to see if I even can.
