Hi PR1MO,Can you advise how much roughly the low temp thermostat? Is it just PnP type? No other setting/tweeking required?
Look forward for your input chief.
Thanks
Hi PR1MO,
U can get the low temp thermostat for under RM300. Make sure it's a genuine yea. I got mine from Rev Performance, U can find the seller in ZTH Marketplace, he has a shop in Sunway =)
PNP, it's a direct replacement, just need to get the one that fits Mitsu 4G63T Evo 4 onwards or Airtrek turbo will do. No tuning required, just send to your mechanic to replace it that's all.

Raising your bonnet and thermal coating the exhaust manifold are good ideas too =)
In fact, anything U can think of to...
- remove heat from the engine compartment
- retain the heat inside the exhaust manifold
- cool down intake air temp
...will work & help prevent detonation, allowing U to use lower octane fuel without any worries.
So U can enjoy more (boost), pay less (ron95)
Cheers!!!
invert your aircon bro... blowing cool air into engine bay and hot air into cabin...I hate it so much when my car runs sluggish when weather is hot. :( I need to do something about it.
Yup, that will help too. I have a basic water injection set in my storage for years, hoping to make use of it next month when I have more time to mess with the trek...hehee. It consists of a 160psi high pressure 12V water pump, a solenoid, a pressure switch, mist injector. Just a basic system that starts injecting mist once the preset pressure (boost) is reached.how about using the methanol injection kit for airtrek turbo....good idea??..
After the intercooler would be best.Inject into the intake or intercooler?

The thermostat is there for a reason, it only opens up to allow hot engine coolant to flow thru the radiator when it exceeds the set temp.If I just remove the thermostat will be more better ???
yeah...i did it with my 4agze, it took quite sometimes for the engine to reach its optimum temperature..now, planning to install back the thermostat in the near future....The thermostat is there for a reason, it only opens up to allow hot engine coolant to flow thru the radiator when it exceeds the set temp.
If U remove it completely, then it will take your engine a long time to warm up during a cold start or 1st start in the morning. Furthermore, an engine is designed to run optimum at its normal operating temperature, running it too cold or revving it hard when cold may not be a good idea.
I had a friend who did exactly that in his GSR, he regretted it after a while & had the thermostat installed back, engine took forever to warm up, fuel consumption turned really bad too.
