Mishimoto Thermostat

kenny's 370z

you dont have to beat on it for it to warm up and go past 200 even with my modded stat.remember this car has a 1 row 15mm radiator on a performance engine.if it would have had the correct cooling capacity on this car then i wouldnt be having to go through extreme lengths to keep it cool which is a royal pita.

now if you drive like grandma,then disregard all of my replies even though the water temp is still going to rise at idle or in traffic with stop and go.especially if you dont have the uprev fan control.with the 180 stat,my water wants to run at 192 and jump to 200 at idle.i have also read the ecu starts cutting timing when water hits 190.so with the oem stat,you dont have very long from a cold start before the ecu starts to cut timing,or power.my car runs great when my water is at 160-170.wish i could keep it there 100% of the time after initial warm up .

This is true; when in traffic there's no ventilation you just sit there and bake. I will def put this thermostat on the car if you won't throw any CEL or run into anything unsavory when you do your test man.

I am hoping it works out for you bro! I was reading a few threads on here about people that had them. Some said good to go and some said got the CEL. Guess it all comes down to location/mods/use ect......
Anyways, good luck!

When you get it, do the hot water test to see the true opening temp. I am curious if they do start ot open at 150, or it is just claimed. Mine before started to open 5 degrees cooler than specs.
