i am not overheating but i do run pretty hot and yes i understand a turbo will cause this but if i could lower it a little bit it would be great.
i heard not to get a 160 becuase it wont get warm enough to let the car know that it is warmed up i read that it needs the get to about 165 so i was wondering what the lowest i could get would be. and what do b18as comes with stock?

 

anyone?

 

bump

 

My car is boosted and it doesn't run hot. Maybe it's time for a cooling system overhaul. Stick with the stock thermostat temperature.

 

even if u have a 160deg thermostat the car will still operate at about 10deg higher than that. i have a 160deg in my car and it works great.

 

I had the same problem you might have some air in the cooling system.

 

i picked up a mugen thermo and relay

 

Turbo will not make u run hot. You have a problem elsewhere.

 

so you are saying a turbo will not produce more under the hood temp?
becuase by me doing the lower thermostat i am trying to lower it a little

 

Where you guy bought the mugen relay from>?

under hood temps might go up but ur motor still runs at the same temperature.
