Description
This 170F (76C) thermostat keeps your engine running cooler for better power and more protection from detonation/pinging. This means you can run more timing, run leaner, and run bore boost without risking dangerous detonation. 170F is great for street or track and usually does not cause a high idle even with a stock ECU. Will not cause any OBD error codes.

Not bad for the price. More of an endurance upgrade then a performance upgrade. Main reason I did it was because I was swapping motors. Easy to install with the engine outside of the car. If It was me I would not just do this for the cooling system upgrade at one time. It would be a better idea to do this thermostat when you also buy the MWR pulleys for the alt and wp. 2zz wp with
New belt and 3 row Mishimoto radiator. Just buy one massive kit from MWR and do everything at once.
Overall though thermostat does what it is suppose to. Thanks MWR!!!!
