What do you guys think of a cooler thermostat? Would the motor run more efficient since its cooler? Im a little sketchy on this topic because no one really talks about? anybody had any experience with this?
thats only with the 160, u wont pass emmission either. the 180 one should be perfect, dont expect any gains.Dalamar said:I've asked about that and heard that it causes issues of the car warming up and going into closed loop.
The only reliable way to keep the temp down is a better radiator.
the stock thermo's in our car open at 193 degrees. supposedly, our cars run more efficiently at this temp.Rantheman said:I run a 195 degree thermostat your car runs more efficiant at a warmer temp then cooler but there is such thing as hot my duster ran at 205 but i would run any hotter then a 195 in out stangs
It just makes sense, I wouldn't mess w. engine tempjareds98gt said:your car should run at 205+. that way all the gas molecules are burned and so that no carbon build up becomes prevalent.

dont quote me or anything on that though
