Because I have one, and it's not something that a person should be using on their daily driven car, after only having it in the car for a few months I decided that it worked great on the track, but for daily duty it wasn't something that I needed to have in my car.

It's a sp00n thermostat if anyone is interested, retail is $70, give me an offer.

I wish I'd seen this earlier, since I'd just ordered the Mugen thermo switch and thermostat.

 

Damn, $7 at Autozone!!!!!!!

Care to elaborate?

 

Since this post is already here and his is probably sold, I have one for sale too (Spoon). IM if interested and only if his is already sold.

 

170 degree thermostat, $7 at Autozone.

ECU needs to see 165 degrees to get out of cold start loop.

It actually needs to see 170 degrees to get out of the Cold Start Fuel Enrichment maps, I've done the research on it...which is why I've sold the thermostat.

The Spoon thermostat starts opening at 65C(149F) and is fully open at 70C(158F), which makes it fine for someone using it on the track, but not for my daily commute.

The Thermostat has been sold, and has left on a UPS truck.

How does the ECU detect that 170 degrees? With the thermoswitch?

There is actually a water temperature sensor, we just see a bad representation via the water temperature guage.

 

Show me a link to the thermostat, and running the 170 degree thermostat would be could for street correct?

 

I couldn't find one at my autozone, So I paid a whopping $2 more from Nuespeed!!They are all made by the same maker. Do a side by side and you'll see.

 

I went through 2 spoon thermostat temp switches in one day and replaced them with the one from autozone and I've haven't had any problems with it.

 

You can also get a 180 stat from most places which will work fine as well. As for the thermoswitch, screw that. Just hardwire the fan to be on all the time or use a manual switch.
