Mugen T-Stat Fits
Yep Eric, it only took one pitch...
The only Mugen T-Stat sold by King Motorsports does fit our car. I did swap the rubber seal from the stock unit to the new one because they were slightly different. But other than that it was a perfect match.
It did warm up normally but kept the average coolant temp at about 180 F with the new Mugen switch. So the previousl;y mentioned part numbers are correct.

This T-Stat must be made of Titanium as it is the most expensive stat I have purchased, $69.00...
I also have the B-Series fan switch which is also required and it ran $45. I did get the rad cap and added Water Wetter along with running only about 30% anti-freeze (not a problem here).

So, the Integra and/or Civic ("B" motor) page part #s you supplied are good to go ... hey?
How about a "Cool-down install story from you?" It can be put in the FAQ/Archives!
(So much for the two thermostats for the Accord story…)

Steve, how hard was it to remove the thermostat housing?
I know that it is only two bolts but looks like one is kind of hard to get to. Any problem removing without air tools?

Ok, here is the quick write-up with pics. Instead of draining coolant off first I did it the simple way; I just let it pour out and cleaned up afterwards. Actually I did it in the driveway and put a large pan underneath which caught about 75% of the about two quarts which was lost. The rest poured onto the driveway and I immediately sprayed it down. I also spray the trans case where the fluid ran down to clean it up.
For the removal/install all you need is a 1/4 inch ratchet and short extension along with a 10 mm socket, I used a deep socket. Just remove the two bolts, one at the top left and on at the bottom right. Once removed the housing will fall away, along with fluid draining out, exposing the top of the stat. Just pull on the top of the stat and it will slide out and then fluid will pour out. Once out just swap the rubber ring to the Mugen stat and reverse the order.
Stock T-Stat that I drilled:

Rear view showing the lower bolt and the Mugen fan switch:
