thermostat question
I ordered a pcm4less tune and in the questionare sheet i put 160 degree engine temp ....Does this mean I have to have a 160 degree thermostat???I thought of this after the fact!! if so ill just put in an order tonight for one.
Just for clarification at the time I thought it would trigger the fans earlier to make the engine cooler...now that I actually think about it I may be wrong haha |
It just means the fans will come on earlier. I ran a stocker with a 160 thermo tune and no ill problems.
|
yeah it takes longer for it to get good heat in the winter IMO. also, it will burn the fan motors out sooner since they will be running more. i programed my fans to come on earlier but have since changed back to stock.

You could end up with the fans running a lot more than they need to if the computer is trying to keep it at a lower temp and your t-stat is too high. I would swap in the 160 if he programmed it for that.
|
Yea cars going to get hot in the summer mths regardless...might just take a little longer :)
|
The stock settings are way too high but you should definetly consider a 160 stat since your fans will kick on even before your coolant has a chance to circulate.
|
Typically they set the tune to bring the fans on around 180-185 degress so go with a 160 thermostat, so if you don't change the thermo the fans will run almost constently which will shorten their life.
