Guest newl Guests Posted 21/10/07 12:13 PM Share Posted 21/10/07 12:13 PM I've been really considering replacing mine as the fans are now becoming annoying. Does anyone have a maker and part number of said thermostat and a suggested place to pick one up (if not, I can ring around to a few larger mobs to see if they have in stock or can order one).

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 26d Gender: Male Posted 22/10/07 03:36 AM Share Posted 22/10/07 03:36 AM (edited) you can run a cooler thermostat but depending on the tuning of cold start parameters you might still be on a little choke (cold fuel enrichment) at 80 degrees. . You really need to check with someone who has access to the tuning tables. eg at 80deg you might have +3% fuel being added phasing out to 0% at 85deg Edited 22/10/07 03:37 AM by turbotrana Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/39149-thermostat-after-edit/#findComment-587118 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm considering doing this tooMy Car: BA MK 2 6speed M. Was 93 c , is now 88c.Go to Super Ch. Auto and look for Tridon Thermostat TT1 -190 = 88c, or TT1- 180 = 83c.Was just under 13.00 dollars and is the right shape so the O-ring will seal.When you get the new one, drill the extra hole that is in the original one !!
