Hello folks...,

I would like to know if there is a real advantage to replace the original 180 degree thermostat by the not original 160 degrees..
Thanks

Search is your friend grasshopper...

Go to the LN website and read their explanation. For the price its a no brainer if you live in warm climates. They even suggest a small increase in power due to the cooler operating temps.

Not sure if you can search if your not a member? or can you?

You can also get it from Hartech in the UK (Google their site). 60 quid + carriage (shipping that is). Make sure you get the gasket as well. 5 quid. I'm in the process of buying one from Hartech right now.

I was thinking of doing this as well. Seems like a no brainer especially down here in during the Miami summers I was also planning on doing the water pump this year should help and certainly could not hurt.

Why would you need to buy the housing?
160F Low Temperature Thermostat & Genuine Porsche Housing inc. gasket.

LN sells a low temp thermostat insert so you dont need to replace the whole unit.

You can buy a 160 degrees thermostat housing and gasket made by Whaler at Pelican parts for only $70.00 ea or a LN Engineering thermostat at $171.00.

Bye bye

I wonder what temp thermostat Porsche put in the 997 series to get them to run @ 175?
