The standard one comes with a 185f thermostat, but you can order it specially with a 160 or 200. I recommend the standard 185f for almost all applications (200 is too high IMO, 160 is too low). It depends on applications though. A 500whp turbo car definitely would need a lower thermostat but that's all special application anyway.

It also comes in Silver I believe! I need to double check on that though. I'll get back to you with a 100% confirmation.

I believe it will definitely move the filter further away from the pulley and radiator cooling plate. I think anything is a help with that kit! Unfortunately, I can't say until we get it on a car with the Vortech (this product was just released). I'll make sure to try and get it on one ASAP.

The non-thermostatic version is in silver, this new one is only in the rose-gold color. They don't have plans at this time to make any other colors.

I guess if the demand was there we could try and get something done

Soooo. im a newb... what will the thermostat do? How does it offer a layer of protection. To my understanding it opens at a specific temp to allow flow to the cooler?

EDIT- Never mind. Read product description lol. Sorry

No problem! Instead of just being a spacer, it actually opens up and keeps temps optimal all the time.

Haha! No worries, it was referring to the plate itself. The coolers come in silver or black.

This is a great kit. We use the non thermostat version on our race car. But for a daily driver in cold climes the thermostat version is perfect. Always have one on hand. :-)
