Hello , I’ve an evo 8 2005
Where can I buy Thermostat 195F/90C?
the photo attached is 176F/ 80C
Car on stand alone ecu / EMS Intercooler /CSF Radiator
it runs cold, drops temp too fast that’s why I was advised to change current thermostat

is the OEM 195F?
For the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII 2005, OEM thermostat spec is roughly ~82–88°C (180–190°F range), with many references pointing right around that range for factory operation. So: Your 176°F (80°C) = basically OEM-ish lower end A 195°F (90°C) = slightly hotter than stock, helps it stay in proper operating range Given your setup (standalone ECU, big intercooler, CSF rad), the car is over-cooling, which is common. A https://tropical-casino.com/ warmer stat like 88–90°C will help stabilize temps and improve drivability.
