You should stay with 50:50 coolant:water, else the boiling point will drop and it will boil instead of circulate -- this is a tropical application.

You can remove the thermostat in other cars, but will still get overheating problems in most -- the coolant will circulate too quickly, so it won't pick up enough heat in the engine and won't loose enough heat in the radiator!
