    Default 160* Thermostat

    I know this will sound like a dumb question and I apologize in advance but I just changed the thermostat in my Z to a 160* from the stock...now should I be doing any changes to the PCM to adjust for this change. I have a 98Z M6, and did do some digging in the tuning file but could not find anything obvious.

    Thanks in advance,

    Steve

    I did this mod a while ago and the things that come to mind that you should change are;

    Fan 1 Temp. On 83C off 81C
    Fan 2 Temp. Up to you but I run On 85C Off 83C
    Idle learn. Drop to 70C
    There are also a lot of other Fuel/ECT settings that you should have a look at. If you look at what most settings are commanding at 90C then bring them down to 80C you'll be pretty right as a general rule.

    Thnx macca_779,
    I did change the Fan 1 and 2 temp initially but did not think of the Fuel/ECT tables and will look at those as well as the Idle learn. Appreciate the help...
