We recommend the use of this thermostat to aid in the effiency of your vehicles cooling system. It prevents engine power loss by minimizing rapid water-temperature rises under extreme conditions. The Mugen thermostat opens up at a lower temperature than a factory unit allowing the coolant to flow through your engine sooner reducing coolant temperature.</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

Here is a write-up on the thermostat install (also header install):

Note that getting to the thermostat is a bitch with the intake manifold in place. But removing the intake manifold is also a bitch...but if you remove the manifold you can do the Hondata insulating gasket as well (which arguably is a better mod than the thermostat alone).

 

You can get it from the bottom if you're sneaky.

 

Be sure you have the little hole at the top.
