#233925 i have had experience on this, i know this post is a little late, but i guess ill throw it in anyway

if you remove your thermostat your engine will fry to DEATH. Not stay under operating temp

coolant is a heat exchanger, flame front and friction in engine create heat absorbed into engine head and block

the coolant is in there to absorb the heat from the sleeves block and head
then when thermostat said youve had enough it opens and goes to the radiator to cool off.

Jonny Hammerstix comes along and rips out the thermostat

there is now no resistance to coolant flow through the engine,

coolant moves so quickly through the engine the heat dosent have a chance to exchange into the coolant,

coolant is left cool and heat generated by the engine stays in the engine
frys to Death, very warped heads

Lower air intake temps can increase power. lowering the coolant temperature too low is not going to do the engine any good in terms of power.
If your engine is heavily modified or boosted, running a cooler thermostat can help reduce pre-detonation, which can help prevent some major wear & damage to your engine. On a stock or mostly stock motor.... don't bother using a cooler thermostat, especially if your engine is running hot. That would be a bandaid instead of finding the real problem of why your engine temps are hot and fixing the real problem.Honda designed their motors to be the most efficient at operating temps, so unless it's a heavily modified engine, let your motor do it's job as engineered :thumb:


x2 perfectly said!
