Yea, 110 for a Tstat is crazy.

 

I will take one.

 

Out of the 100 or so Tstats we've modified they have all been marked 87. I know they offered a lower temp thermo in the 300E, but I never got around to seeing if the parts would swap over into our Tstats. If someone wanted to try that would be a good starting point.

 

Hello All: I've been watching this thread for a while. Maybe I canset some things straight.
I've been building these stats for 3 years. I ran the 2 U.S, aftermarket parts distributors (World Pac) & (IMC)Out of stock at all their warehouses. They refused to reorder. At that Time I already modded about 200 stats.

Now The parts come in from Germany. I hand build these Thermostats in my small machine shop . Even though they are called 160* They actually bring the engine temp from 210*F / 100*C too about 180* F . The 160* one , which I don't build ,would set a CEL on cold nights. I only made about 7 of them , They all have been returned & exchanged for a lastest built 180*

These are true Thermostat assemblies, Not OEM ones with Bypass holes drilled in them. I know I've been copied , But I've now got the sole import on the real parts.

Rflow306 AKA Albert & I did some real time data logging.I've also had many E-55 guy's data log and found modded stat I build for the V-8 Kompressor to be quite effective. We found that the cold motor enrichment , shuts off at 140 too 142*F. We watched the spark curve & injector pulse with change dramaticly. What the ECU looks for is how long it takes to reach this temp & compares it to the outside temp for the correct amount of Fuel. It doesn't just dump fuel. It is very precise. I'm Trying too keep this simple. There is a ton of info in MBworld.org forum, Great Questions & answers, Guy's worried about oil dilution with fuel , will I get a CEL so on and so forth. The stat works great most customers are very please and has no known issues. and some guys have done data logging to see if this suites their needs. ___PTEngineering < tynerfla@bellsouth.net >
