Default Mugen thermostat and Mugen fan switch

Anyone using these items and noticed a difference in their temperature? I'm estimating a 13:1 cr in my ITR and i'm just looking for ways to keep the cooling temperature a bit low.

that will be your best bet. i have the mugen thermostat/switch combo in my car and it really doesn't do all that much for you when your already running hot. i would vent the back of the hood and wrap the exhaust manifold ot help reduce under hood temps/radiator heat soak.

you also might want to think about an oil cooler. the cooler the oil, the cooler the engine will run.

Thanks for all the good info . I have a Fluidyne radiator and I thermo wrap my exhaust already. So I guess my car is fine for now.

the mugen thermostat and fan switch along with a fluidyne is overkill.
