We'll i just picked up a 170 Degree low temp. thermostat for my 3s. I was wondering if anyone else was using one and how they liked it. I bought the Gates 170 Degree Thermostat, looks like a quality thermostat, hopefully i can put it in tomorrow, but i wanted to post up on here first and see who was using one and how they liked it. not just the 3sgte but the 5s, 7a, any motor.

QUOTE (domyz @ Sep 17, 2009 - 9:08 PM)  it makes a difference, the C point on the needle is about 50F and the middle is 92F so between 84 and 74 (TRD thermostat effect on my car) i saw the difference on the needle I don't know the exact number of our stock gauge cluster, but I think you might mean 192F not 92F. The middle point on our gauge cluster has a big give and take difference. This is done so that the customer wont run back to the dealership when he saw his needled slightly higher than the day before with the changes in weather. You would really need an after market gauge to see the actual temperature difference. Some car manufactures do things differently and actually do provide and accurate gauge. I've driven a new GM car that did that, and it still had a big zone marked off in the middle to show you whats considered acceptable, but our cars dont do that. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
