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.

with just a C and a H you cant accuratly tell how hot the engine is so no point in going off that.
im running a TRD 77 deg one and its brilliant, sits on 77 solid on the highway.. Especially good for these hot little 3s' -------------------- ST205 Group A Rallye GT-Four, #61 of 77............600hp GT3582r

Especially good for these hot little 3s' right, but I knew my car before the low threshold thermostat, and the gauge always sat in the middle of C and H, then when I put the low threshold thermo in it would run a little cooler in the day time and in the mornings it would be abnormally cold 30 minutes after running. that's all I was saying. -------------------- -Jay
