ive searched just a little but had no luck. where can i get a 160 deg stat?

 

hypertech sells one and i think even jet sells one.

But im almost pretty sure that your local pep boys or something carries the non-popular brands of the 160 stat, but they work just as good...

Also, dont forget to get a fan switch or programming to turn on your fans.

 

Autozone sells hypertech stats for around 13 bucks. That's where I got mine.

 

Well is your can running warm at all right now? What temp does it usually run and top out at?

If it stays pretty low, then theres no need. But the 160 tstat is a good thing b/c the fans turn on sooner= cooler = better

 

It can increase emissions. FYI if you live in a state that requires checks.

If you do, keep the old one just in case.

 

I like that mine keeps my engien temps down but I live in flroida and half my cooling system is stock the other half hac abotu 100,000 miles on it in florida weater.

 

my car has been running a little on the hot side ever since i got it. i'm gonna put a 160 degree stat in this weekend. is there anything else i have to do after i install it (reprograming or anything)?

 

In *theory* no, (been talked about in the LT1 tech),
but in my experiences, i feel that it is NEEDED. In my car, my car ran WAY warmer with it in and no programming or switch.

I would install a SLP fan switch and put a bottle of Water Wetter while u are at it.

If not, at least add a bottle of Water Wetter if you dont want the switch.

 

just out of curiosity, do they make one in between the 160 and 210? i had a 160 on my 93 and in the winter when i had to use it, it sucked cause there was no heat to keep me warm. also on my 93 i did not have to reprogram anything it just picked it up and when it got close to the 170 or so it would turn on my fans automatically. do some cars need a switch to turn it on the newer ones? or does the reprogram take care of that? thanks!

 

I do belive there is a 180 stat

 

WHOA 180! that's good. my car is a monster when it is in that temperature range. thanks!

 

This wasnt the case with my last emissions test(last week) with all the mods and the 160 thermo the car has 0.00 CO% emissions and 0 HC @ idle and 2500rpms

I had the 180 before the 160 and the 160 w/o using my fan switch temps stay @ 160-70.The 180 was running 190-5 and@ the track I was peaking 210+.Thats why I got the 160 and fan switch now @ the track run in the 180-90 range fan running continuiously... and 160-70 on the street.
