Default where to buy low temp thermostat?

Hello.

Just prepping my new race motor to go into the Civic (its a B18A LS motor). I'd like to put a low temp thermostat (not the fan switch, the actual thermostat) in there (maybe around 160 degree?)....

Anyone know where I could order one from?

How about a 20-30 psi oil press switch? I have a gauge, but would like to install a BIG RED light which would go off and alert me to low oil pressure situation. The stock switch goes off at like almost 0 psi (usually too late by then). And during the road races, there just is not enough time to watch the gauge all the time....

Thanx for the info.

Todd

Hi Todd.......
Autometer Sending units for Pro Lights (likely just a switch!)
Jegs part numbers......
105-3242 30 psi low pressure (will come on during warm idle BTW!)

Low temp thermo, should be able to get a 180 degree at Autozone. But as you know under race conditions, once thermo is fully open, it don't matter, esp at 200+ degrees.

Honda sells lower temp thermostats- I'm not sure if it is 10 or 20 degrees below stock- check your parts man at the dealer.
