Look at the bigger spectrum, aluminum melts at 1220f, what are you doing lowering coolant temps by 10f Besides PISSING ME OFF!?!@

I set mine to -10c and the problem is at idle at an intersection the fan will go to 100% and sound like a 747 airliner taking off (people staring, rolling up windows, babies crying, that sorta thing..) its pretty loud. I set mine to -7c and have been very happy. The fan will hang around 30% at idle now. I dont know what the big deal is dropping our temps from 190-200f to 180f anyway
engines need heat to make power too, look at corvettes they run around with 230f coolant temps all day, nascars run around 210-220. Your air intake temps are what you wanna work on lowering.

just dont go lowering your temps so much that your ECU goes back into open loop mode. Have fun. Mmmm more coffee

I think it would be better to just get a split system, a big tank, and a Killer Chiller

- anytime you hit a drivethru window, expect to shut down your engine
- sitting at stoplights, people will wonder why your car is so loud
- your kids will say 'gee dad, your car fan is really loud'
other than that - it's great

You guys are wasting your time.you are fighting the OEM thermostat and the engine will run at its set temp either way and that fan will run full blast.
Get a 10d lower t stat and be done with it like I did 2 years ago

I think I have one laying around but its a 160or 170d temp and will cause the car to throw an engine to cold code when the temps around under 40 outside.
I was seeing 177-185 coolant temps in 85d summer days with it installed and it never saw over over 190.
Im back to stock now and it sits from 188-195

Well I'm in FL so I doubt that,lol
Mine is a 176-180 as per PTE, he said going with 160-170 might throw codes on those cold nights, I could have gone with it but decided not to
Temps are steady at 185-190

in florida you can get away with a 170 or even a 160 but up here it gets 10 below lol

I probably could have gotten away with it but SOMETIMES (not very often lol) it can get into the 40s or 30s and just didn't want to go through having a CEL for that
The one I have works well staying at 185-190 in 95-100 degree weather

Are the PTE thermostats still available? I just did a quick Google search and its just mbworld threads....maybe I suck at Google, lol. I could use a lower degree tstat out here in Vegas along witht the fan mod. Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.

I had my e55 out in Palm Springs when it was 110 and the car ran the same temperature as when I am in Laguna and it is ~75. (Obviously IATs were different, but lowering the Tstat will not change IATs.)
