Installed 160 degree thermostat

[Mikeg4572]

When you pair a lower thermostat with an aftermarket tune. The tune can be set to turn on the fans earlier and take advantage of the lower thermostat opening sooner. It will keep cylinder head, and under hood temps down. By keeping the temps down the car will be less likely to pull timing and therefore will not lose any power.

So how does this work. And benifits?

Damn, if I'd known about these when I spent twice as much for the Reische 170 I probably would have installed it instead lol.

I seriously had a heard time spending the ridiculously high $70 for a thermostat, and I come from a background working on M3 track cars.

Not a bad idea. I might have to do this at some point to my GT-PP.
I'll add my hat to the ring: I live in Mesa and work in Phoenix, and my S550 is my daily driver now.

For those of us that drive on the more spirited side our 160° EvenFlo thermostat is an inexpensive mod that lets your car run far more happily. There are zero negatives even in an insanely cold climate like us here in Michigan. We routinely see actual temps below 0°F in winter, and heat is still fully functioning!
