I didn't make any reasoning behind it in my first one that said to get the 180 as I assumed he was getting one due to the question in the first place indicating that he was looking for a "high flow" one, as per this thread... get the 180 because it'll make the car behave much more like it should when it's making over 300rwkw :), e.g. the fans will come on sooner and the car will not have much heat-soak related issues. the tune can easily be modified to take this into account as it's already tuned. win/win.

 

The fans wont come one sooner unless you make them but fair enough.

Honestly, do you really need me to explain it ???. You are are DIY tuner. Surely you understand why.   

 

The reason I'm asking for explanation is not because of a lack of understanding on my part. It's because a lot of people recommend a tune for any minor change and in many cases isn't "needed" but rather could be utilized whether or not the car is modified.

 

In this specific case a tune isn't "needed" but it could be utilized. For better or worse semantics matter more online, especially hard statements such as "you need to xxx".

First one is 92 waxstat? I removed this as car was getting hot. Gasket was perished. 

Second one is tridon 91c 195f, was tuned with this in it. 

Third one is what I put in today.

So now that you have an 82c/180 tune needs to be adjusted to bring the fans on earlier or the new thermostat wont be as effective.

Oh yeh no issues.,  It just means it will have to reach the same temp as the stock thermostat before the fans come. that's the factory settings.

 

Who is your tuner?
