Sensors/Thermostats
Does the VR VS 304 5.0L V8 has a spot for the air temp sensor?
Do you supply a thermostat compatible with the VZ SV Alloytec 190 engine?
Does the 82 degree thermostat for Holden Ecotec, L67, and Buick 3.8L come with a new seal?
Can the thermo fan on/off settings be adjusted to work with an 82 degree thermostat?
Yes, we can.
In fact, we recommend that when fitting an 82-degree thermostat, the thermo fan on/off settings be altered in tune to suit, as this will prevent excessive heat soak in the engine and engine bay.
Keeping the engine cooler aids in power delivery, which is especially important in blown applications, where excessively hot intake air temperatures quickly reduce torque as the engine management pulls out timing to prevent pinging.
Is a gasket included with this item?
Is there a thermostat on the market that opens below 82 degree?
We have found that on both standard and highly modified engines, the 82-degree thermostat works very well. This is especially true for standard-type engines, where running a cooler thermostat can cause issues, as the engine tune may not accommodate it.
While it may be possible to find a cooler thermostat that fits, we do not recommend using one
