Good morning, hope everyone had a good week.
Nudging then 3.2/6 build forward and wanted to see what thermostat people recommend for a front mounted oil cooler. Thanks! |

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
Original guys use the Porsche T-stat, but it's spendy and has Cohline threads so you have to use the expensive Cohline hose and fittings.
Other use the -12 AN mocal t-stat, with AN hose and fittings. For AN there's other brands of t-stats available, but I'd stick with a known name brand. |

Mocal also make a t-stat with 22mm metric threads so you can put the same factory Porsche fittings that screw into the oil cooler on them. Then you can run the Cohline fittings on the ends of the lines.

I used the Impoved Racing aluminum version. So far so good.
