[quote=mr220v;412903]You do not want to run colder tstats with the 20v. If you don't get to full operating temp, vvt doesn't operate.[/QUOT

Now you tell me Doug LOL .... Just out of curiousty , where does your coolant guage run ? Just under half way ? Spinetti mounted a fan on the radiator that runs full on all the time , so I am not sure if this is keeping my temps down or if he put a cooler stat in for some reason ..... The heat is also weak in the car even after a hour of driving .... I realize they carry alot of coolant on these cars do to the rad being so far away , but it still seems like its runnin cool ... Oh and is the factory stat a 195 degree ?
