The super cooler lets plenty of air thru and does not cause me any issue with the exception of no more severe BAS/ESp codes and engine shut downs due to inlet air temp spikes during a run. Thats a good thing. Just found a photo to let you see the stat I made and super cooler.
BTW the engine will run cooler than the factory stat if the radiator and fan can reject the heat, and that is true with the C up to my max ambient so far of 93 degrees F. My stat I made is 180 degrees, by Stant. Enjoy Woody
hi woody. jake at eurocharged said he would hunt for a 180 tstat for me but havent heard any reply. i dont think i want to attack modding 1 any idea were i can find 1?
ckovach its always been my experience that if the tstat is lower say 180 from 195 the engine runs cooler because under 195 the tstat closes back down to raise the heat in the engine. by going to a 180 tstat it opens sooner and having the fan set to run 10 degrees cooler i hope to run the car yr round at 1800 degrees
