scott87star Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Reduces the delay in engine warm up??????? Thermostat doesn't come into play until the engine is warmed up. Stabilizes pressure? What do they consider "stable"?? I want to see some pressure drop data. Trapped air, well the owner did a crappy job filling it if there is trapped air in there. Probably don't need more than 10 GPM flow to begin with....... But what the hell, spend money! Edited March 15, 2014 by scott87star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper1355 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Yea... This company sells junk products. I haven't tried the high flow, but I had one of their ultra-stats (top of the line) freeze shut on me in 2 weeks once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turboat Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) High Performance Thermostat vs Factory Replacement Motorad High Performance 180 Thermostat 30 minutes of driving with 15 minutes of warm up after starting. Stopped by the gas station and let it run while I was inside. 20 minutes of idling. One mile later 15 minutes of idling after a few gears of full boost.

viper1355 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yeah, when it works, it's similar to the concept of removing the stat. I just don't trust the company, and honestly I'd sooner just remove the stat if I need to. I'd probably mod the rest of the system first though.

Turboat Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I drove to VA Beach just recently. Long drive with a droney muffler and 88 hemroid seats. Anyways after an hour 20 minutes of driving with the temp gauge a hair above the 2nd cold mark I hit 8 miles of bumper to bumper 1mph road work traffic in Hampton Roads. Temp never got above the highest in the above pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDawg_43 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 You must have been on 64 or 264 going through a tunnel. I use to live in HR. I the engine likes to maintain a certain amount of heat, that's why the T-stat was put in place. It burns gas better at a certain temp. The cooling system is designed to maintain it a normal driving temp if you were driving uphill, in the desert, with a car full, with the AC blowing. Like Viper was saying, that t-stat is performing like it's not there. I guess that's a good thing, if that's what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turboat Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Weather is warmer now, during the day it sits here driving and idling. Def something people should use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stariondreams Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 I am having issues now with my car running hot in traffic bought a 160 thermostat and a new water pump gotta see if that works for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieJ Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Ive been running one for a few months and not really liking it. Ive got a real time temp gauge and monitor it. The temp drops as low as 170 and will come back up to 190 after some really hard runs. IMO its too cold. I would prefer a steady 190-200. 170 is just too cold for my liking. Im switching back to a 180 tstat this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
