is this ok to do on the 944 turbo?

 

Why? Not a good idea for any reason, unless you are going to run an orifice in its place.

 

i live in a real warm climate and its always hot ,won't this help to run the car cooler?. plus my car runs on the hot side anyway.

 

i m new to this site and new to 944 turbo ,any way both of my cooling fans stop working so i m changing them in the mean time i want to pull my thermostat ,now is it alright to leave it out?

 

The thermostat circulates water around the engine during initial warm up through the center hole inside. When the thermostat opens, it closes this hole to prevent water from "short circuiting" and causing hot water to return to the engine without going through the radiator. Several have modified the water pump to run without the thermostat. Do not just remove it without the proper modifications.

If you car runs too warm, maybe it is time for a new pump, radiator or t-stat.

 

or radiator flush??

 

All true. Huntley used to sell a plug to stop the recirculation. However, in my car, with a brand-spanking new radiator, new belt, fans working as designed, etc., my car runs cooler on the freeway without a thermostat installed. I think more coolant is circulating without the extra restriction of the t-stat. Around town, however, the car runs a bit warmer, presumably because the coolant is short circuiting in the pump.
