I live in hot and humid florida.
If I install the Mugen T-Stat will I be running better 1/4 mile times in the hot weather? Will it help performance.

 

Not sure. I have it. Had is since November. So far the car runs cooler. The temp gauge is only less then 1/2 up now. Used to be half way. The high heat doesn't make the car that slugish like it used to be. Real test will be in the Summer I guess. You won't see any power gains from it. However the car should get better #'s in the 1/4 or dyno's since the car will be running a bit cooler. And you will loose less power in the heat.

 

Yes thats what im asking, no power gains, but in a way more power as it makes the car think its in cooler weather=better time=better performance

 

where can you purchase the mugen therostat and is that the only part you need to replace when doing the mod?

 

^^ i was wondering the same thing b/c its summer time in cali, but i hate the decreased performance in the weather, where can i get this mod and how much is it?

 

groupbuy?

 

Only place I know of is www.kingmotorsports.com

 

i wonder if its hard to install

 

I did a search early tonight on google for the Mugen thermostat and most of the sites came back sayin it was for civic's or integra's or B type engines.

But is that the same thermostat that is used on our cars?

In addition, the page ... LINK

Does not list a thermostat for the CL, but for other honda/acura vehicles, so which one fits our car?

THERMOSTAT 19301-XGMR-0000 $69.00
FAN SWITCH 37760-XK5-00N0 $45.00
RADIATOR CAP 19045-XGER-0000 $29.00

 

Thanks.

You other guys should use the search to know what parts to use and how they were determined. King Motorsports does not list the CL. I went through every Fan Switch and T-Stat to determine which were the correct units.

 

how much for the install?

 

Hrmm,

Airfare = $600
Hotel = $200
Rental = $100
Travel Time = $825
Labor = $85

Total = $1810

You could probably get it done for less at a local shop or the delear. :P
