wtf ... i don't get it. it's just a thermostat ... i highly doubt that you can juice more HP with that.

 

thats what i thought things they sell on ebay hahahaha

 

i neverunder stood the concept of these. What is the freaking point because after the i guess 180 degree mark, the stock thermostat opens up as well. So the flow would be the same as this 160 degree one. You arent gonna kill your car w/ temperatures between 160 and 180 degrees. If you stomp on it and redline it, it should pass 180 quickly and open up anyways.

Pointless and waste of money IMO.

 

:screwy: :hahano:

 

this reminds me of the "electronic turbo" that was all the rage a few months ago :ghey:

 

it just means your engine will start to cool itself a lot quicker then with the stock thermo. i know it should help with performance a little. kinda like when u are boosting and u want the coldest air possible, but your hp increase shouldn't be noticable with a thermostat

 

so does that mean that this thermostat is pretty much useless?

...the spoon thermo is the one i'm asking about
:dunno:

 

A cheap thermostat mod is just drill 3 or 4 small holes in the flat area of the thermostat. More coolant will pass through during warm up. It will still open at 180, but you'll have a more continous flow when its closed.

 

Someone whos do a DIY for this and take pictures.
