Where can I get a 160 thermostat?

[Qualitywires.com]

I am looking for one...any idea where to get it?

Anyone have it? Any good?

Bad, bad, bad. Unless you want to change your oil much, much, much more often. All the water that accumulates from cold cylinder walls and normal by-products of combustion will never boil off. If you want to fool the ECU, then do so with a modification to the coolant temperature sensor. If you want cooler intake air, then... get some. Cooler coolant won't get you cooler air.

I think 180 is as low as you want to go, Sean Roe has them for around $30.

Keep in mind that a 160 degree thermostat doesn't mean your car will run cooler. During hot weather a 180 thermostat will probably be open all the time, except maybe for a nice cool evening. 160 is definately too cold.

I just picked up a 180 stat w/gasket and 16lb cap for 12.60 at Car Quest.

$12.60? Are you kidding me?

I bought the Napa 180 thermostat and I think it was $36.

Adam, you've got email. If you email me and don't get a response within a few hours, please reply to this post. Yahoo address have been being eaten by my ISP's spam filter as of late so I don't know if you'll get through to me or not.

The one we have starts to open at 172 and is fully open at 180.
The PCM will seta a check engine light if the coolant temperature stays too cool for too long. I've seen that happen one car with our front duct kit and low temperature thermostat.
I think there's also a correlation between coolant temperature and the PCM open loop / closed loop status.
