Mishimoto Thermostat

DEpointfive0

I think a lot of people do have experience with it
A lot of people say on a NA car it isn't going to help, AND if your coolant doesn't heat up enough your car will run extra rich and you'll get a CEL... I only know of one person who has installed this on a NA car and hasn't had a CEL...

i can tell you that the factory water gauge will reside on normal once my aftermarket temp gauge reaches around 148 so it may or may not throw a cel beings how the thermo starts opening up at 150.just depends on how cool it will allow the engine to run.if the water starts coming down below 148,then there is a good chance the cel will pop.

If the car is NA but modded, it generally will run hotter since more power's being made, so the thermostat in that situation won't overdo it's duty right?

That might be true, but nothing near FI... I don't think your car will reach operating temps, or stay there with this thermostat on a NA car... Maybe if you turn the car on, wait one minute for the juices to start flowing then beat on it immediately?

As a side note; has anyone upgraded their radiator to the CSF one? I see Z1 Motorsports is offering one.
