180 stat settings

[hozuki]

i have a 2006 charger rt w a CAI im using a 180 stat . my tune is the 91 CAI tune. wat should i set the fan settings to?

Can't speak for the other guys, but I keep my LS at 187, and the MS and HS at 196, both with A/C on and off.

Where it opens might effect your choice. Everybody calls the Motorad/ValuCraft/Autozone 4128 a 180* T-stat but it opens at 185*. The Jet opens at 180*.

I am running the 4128 t-stat, and a customized 93 octane CAI tune. Under normal condtions my EVIC shows 186*F.
Some time ago I inquired of DS what the temperature difference was from FAN-ON to FAN-OFF. The reply was 10*F.
So, in order to keep the low speed fan from running continuously, I have my LS temps set at 197*F and the MS and HS temps set at 207*F.
"It works for me."

Yep. I think the fan on to fan off might vary a bit (I've got a 2006 SRT8). I tried mine and the low speed FAN-ON to FAN-OFF seems to be about 4*. That was from very unscientific experimentation. Stand up front and wait for fan on, rush to driver's window and look at EVIC display. Repeat for fan off . I set my LS at 191* and HS at 202? It's something people should play around with to get what they like. You're not going to hurt anything.

mikel told me to set all fans 20 degrees lower then stock works for me
my cmr tuner agrees also

I used Quick's spreadsheet of 192 and 203 (I think he dropped it to 191 and 202 since I saw it last). I have it printed on a piece of paper and I put it in the glovebox with the registration and insurance slip...

8th Post Down. Just copy and paste it to any word processor or spreadsheet (Word, excel, Openoffice, wordpad, whatever).

Thanks Quick

Thanks. Those are just my personal preference. I have the Motorad/ValuCraft T-stat that opens at 185*. I think the Jet opens at 180*.

I have a Lingenfelter Failsafe 180* thermostat.... not sure if it opens at 180 or 185? Couldn't be bothered doing the metric conversion and just used the spreadsheet from Quick...seems to have worked for me.
