What is the main benefit of a racing thermostat?

A racing thermostat opens at a lower temperature than a standard one. This allows coolant to circulate through the engine sooner, which helps to keep engine temperatures down, especially in modified vehicles or during hard driving.

Does this thermostat come with a new gasket?

This product listing is for the thermostat itself. It is recommended to check the manufacturer's installation instructions or contact them directly to confirm if a gasket is included or if a new one should be purchased separately.

Will this thermostat cause my engine to run too cold?

This thermostat is designed to open at 155°F (68°C), which is lower than stock. While it helps manage high temperatures, it's engineered to still allow the engine to reach and maintain its optimal operating temperature under normal conditions.

Product Details

This is the Mishimoto Racing Thermostat for your 2005-2012 Scion tC. It's designed to open at a lower temperature, 155 degrees Fahrenheit (68 degrees Celsius), compared to the stock thermostat which typically opens around 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 degrees Celsius). This means coolant starts circulating through your engine sooner, which can help keep high engine temperatures in check, especially if you've made upgrades like a turbo kit.

By allowing coolant to flow earlier, this thermostat helps maintain cooler engine temperatures. This can be beneficial for overall engine health and performance, particularly in modified vehicles or in demanding driving conditions. It's a well-built part that fits right into the factory location, making it a straightforward swap for many vehicles.

This thermostat fits a wide range of vehicles beyond just the Scion tC, including models like the Toyota Avalon and Lexus ES300. If you're looking to improve your engine's cooling efficiency and keep temperatures down, this is a solid option.
