Livernois Motorsports & Engineering EvenFlo Thermostats

[Livernois Motorsports]

We at Livernois Motorsports & Engineering are excited to announce another new product for the EcoBoost Family of engines. Our new EvenFlo thermostats are being introduced as a true, Direct-Fit solution for these cars and trucks. While we have offered thermostats for these before, these new thermostats are manufactured based on the correct OEM sizing, and manufactured exclusively for us by a Tier 1 OEM supplier ensuring the most consistent performance and quality available.

We are offering this new 160* temperature as well that allows for even more consistent performance over the OEM thermostat and other performance thermostats on the market. With the factory thermostat being a 180* piece, we wanted to offer a thermostat that ensured the best possible performance for our customers, and this new 160* does just that.

I'm pretty sure that my '10 SHO is a 190 degree. Has the 190 been sidelined in favor of a 180 by Ford now or has the 190 been retained by the SHO?

OEM is a 180°.

OEM is 180 for both ecoboost and the NA engines.  A few years ago, 192 or 195 was common but not so much anymore.  Cleaner running higher compression engines don't need to run so hot anymore to meet emissions standards.

OEM is a 180.

Wow!!!  For the last couple of years I've been operating on a false assumption. Don't know where I picked up that bad info as all of my old timer instincts make me feel like 180 should be normal. Got to see if I can find where my misinformation came from. I know my coolant temps often range up to 190 but seldom went much beyond and that did not worry me as I chalked it up to the 190 stat. If I've got a 180 stat, I should be running closer to the low 180's most of the time unless my cooling system is not doing it's job. Got to research this!

That's not too surprising on your operating temps. There is a lot going on under the hood of these cars, so heat builds up rather easy. This is another reason why we moved down to a 160* as the heat soak is already pretty ridiculous, so every bit helps.

WOW. Wish you guys would have mentioned this last week when I ordered my 170 and a tuner. 

Came in on Tuesday, installed on Thursday.

Haha! Same thing happened to me. However, mine remains uninstalled.

Where's the ordering info on these?

 

[noidster]

Spoke to Livernois today. Apparently the checked my order and said that the part number they have listed for me is the 160 T-stat.  :icon_horns2:

 

[LV SHO]

any deals on a tuner & t stat combo? I need more fast!! and living in Vegas you always need more cool.

 

[DJE624]

Call Brandon at LMS and tell him you are on the forum.  Maybe he'll swing you a deal.

We do offer an upgrade program for all of our customers that had purchased the 170* stat from us in the past that want to move to the upgraded 160* design as well.

We also do offer bundled discounts. Feel free to contact us for specifics on these!

Just did the 160 tonight.  So far, so good!  (Still burping the baby.)

Hi All
Has anyone seen any true benefit form installing the 160-170 thermostats
I am skeptical that thee is any benefit over the stock 180 thermostat
If anyone has definitive proof that it helped in any way I would like to hear about it

 

[crash712us]

Its my opinion, they do make a difference. Lower coolant temps allows for more timing to be added. And of course you have to have your tune adjusted for the fans to come sooner. But any how thats my 2 cents I could tell the difference.

There are several threads with this info... folks see the engine running cooler...10-15 degrees even after heat saturated.  Also, since a cooler t-Stat stays open longer after shutdown of the engine it should cool quicker.

A turboed GDI engine runs better when it is cooler.
