Stant 45818 SuperStat Thermostat - 180 Degrees Fahrenheit Purchaser Review

I bought this for my 87' Pontiac Fiero. I already had a 195 degree non SuperStat, and my temps often where above normal. I altered over to the 180 SuperStat and now the vehicle finally runs at or below the norm for the Fiero. This product has made a believer out of me and I stand behind the product. Get one while they are in stock, they disappear fast.

Stant 45818 SuperStat Thermostat - 180 Degrees Fahrenheit

The Stant SuperStat Themostat out performs the Original Gear themostat. Unlike the OE themostats that continually open and close to achieve the proper operation temperature and flood the engine including coolant, the Stant SuperStat has a patented V-notch, non linear design that reduces cycling by precisely metering the amount of coolant needed. the V-notch provides a small initial flow. As the engine heats up, the V-notches gradually open wider, metering coolant released into the system until the desired engine temperture is reached. The benefits of proper engine temperature control are: efficient engine operation, prolonged engine life, reduced oil consumption, improved fuel economy and improved emmisions. The SuperStat uses a high flow venturi for most cooling capacity during high temperature high load operation, and employes a patented Weir Valve, for percision flow metering during cold weather light load operation, to ensure stable temperature control under all conditions.The power constituent of the SuperStat is comparable to those used in the heavy duty trucking industry. It employs an actuator piston that is 25% larger than our standard themostat and 55% larger than competitive products. This larger heavy piston duty delivers one and one half times as much power as competitive stats for enhanced durability and longer life. The flange on the SuperStat is 33% thicker than our standerd product and 43% thicker than competitor's themostats for added strength and longer life.The operating spring is 50% stronger than on standard themostats. This helps return the Superstat to the closed position and provent cold running even under the most adverse operating conditions.
