Cruises at 160 degrees
I have no idea why but my car cruises at 160ish degrees. I know the head is a JDM head with a smaller thermostat...Came with the car when i brought it. I brought and EVO 8 t-stat and it does not fit. My guess is this is a 160 thermostat. My question is how do I scale this in my Rom so the car doesn't think i am still warming up. I don't have the money to swap heads yet.

Also....are there any ignition trims that are applied because of coolant temp. I see a couple of tables but not sure what exactly they mean:
Low Coolant Temp Timing Trim Map & Percent Low Temp Timing Trim vs Coolant Temp
Edit: I just 0 those out. Looks like its really only use to heat up the CAT which I dont have.

I don't have any pics. The 7/8/9 stat is bigger then the 6 stat. Everywhere I looked doesn't seem to have a 180 6 stat. Add to it i can't just swap out the housing as the heads are physically different as far as the lines go. It is easier for the moment to just do this instead of sourcing all those parts and coming out of pocket.

I dunno why I didn't think about that at first before I posted what I did. Good catch/call.

I made the change yesterday and drove home.....this is all before being told about the 9 stat. not sure if some are hidden but the ones it did change made sense. Did not see anything out of the ordinary.
I just ordered the 9 stat which is twice the price of the 8 for some weird reason. I will install it this weekend and and change this back. Car is parked and i am out of town at the moment.

so i am pretty sure this thermostat is shot....no idea where to get another from. I am trying not to have to replace the entire housing setup. I know there are Evo 4 5 6 guys out there....any idea where i could get a new one from?
Edit: looks like i need Part Number MD345617
