Low temp tstat alternative

[andrewwynn]

I'm happy with what the engineers came up with on the n55. It's 109c when flat highway but punch the gas and it's instantly 94c. That tells you the radiator is plenty big and efficient at pulling heat!

I was looking into lower temp options until I started having my realtime temps on my dashboard and how the temp drops 15c in seconds when power is requested.

Interesting, I wonder what the design differences are between yours and the m62 MAP system. I watch mine on long drives because I’m bored, and see it open and cool down too late to make a difference (I’ve long passed the truck, etc.). I also see it continuously cycle like clock work, every few minutes on long straights with little elevation on the hwy, which seems odd to me.
