Mishimoto thermostat

[Speedy!]

I've had two fail. I think they were Motorad. Mishimoto in mine now for 2 years and ran the same for about 10 in the old car. Guess it's a ymmv scenario.

Do you get the same temps, open around 177-179, then settle up to 185 with the Mishimoto? Do you get a P0128 code? I suppose you just clear it with the tuner...

Yep, same temps with the Mishimoto. Yes I get a P0128. I turned that code off in my tune so I don't get a CEL from it.

I wonder which t-stat will come with the Power Broker upgrade packages? Do you know @Speedy! ?

 

[Speedy!]

Not sure on that one. Probably one already in the parts dept catalog at the dealer.

Small update here, swapped back to the Jet 180/Motorad 4128 unit and my code P0128 has gone away after a few days.

This one climbs to 188-190, then opens and settles at 185 or so(when air is moving through the car of course).

Is this the one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/2553468129...2j8PEyzGlrboG43dqntlRL5iVJZ+|tkp:BFBM1N_MuqNg

It sure looks the part, it is re-packaged/branded more often than not so to see it actually labeled motorad 4128 is unusual to me. That eBay link is a great price, think it comes with the gasket?

So the last few I’ve bought I have bought under a part number 10183, this 5-digit number seems to be linked to the part regardless of the brand/label it’s sold under. Here’s one on Amazon, way more $$$ though. That’s what I’m used to paying, hell I think the Mishimito is close to $50!

I may get one of these off eBay for $16 just to check out.

The picture does not show a gasket.
