AUTOZONE if u are in the states!

ok, I've got a question, is there any difference between a thermostat from autozone, and hypertech's powerstat 160?

[silicuda]

you can get hypertech at autozone cant you?

[99redcamaro]

yes you can, it's $13.99 but this the 180 one

Thunderracing and SLP both sell a thermostat that will fit, its ~$10-15 and is Model 1009 IIRC.

Thats the 160 which will fit.

If you have a 2001-2002 model you need a resistor to make it work without throwing a code, its an easy mod and I can send you one if you need it. Otherwise just order the stat and swapo/chango.

Might I also recommend buying from thunderracing first since they're the board sponsor?

Is that resistor mod necessary with the Hypertech programer? And - "Here is a quick and easy way to gain up to 10 horsepower" whats up with this? I think there being a little optimistic.

I ordered my Hypertech 160º at Autozone for my 3.8

Takes like 2 days to get it, and like 10 minutes to install it.. not too shabby.

The guy at Autozone said that a 160 TSAT will throw off the codes [img]graemlins/bs.gif[/img] ???? So I bought a 180, I have a 96-3.8. Is it okay if I go ahead and replace it with the 160? Will I have any coding problems?

[Bobby]

I've had a 160 in my 99 3.8 for a couple years (except on the winter) and have never thrown any kind of code with it, I'm sure you'll be fine.

[strobhen]

depends on the year

I know my car w/ a 160 will throw codes w/ out a resistor mod to make the car thinks its 10 deg outside.
