I can only imagine that the 1.6 shares more heritage with the turbo version?
Everything I've gotten, right from MazdaComp, was single. The last week I've noticed a lot of overshoot, but I'm not sure how full my rad is right now, just had everything apart. |
Ordered one of these 180* dual thingie thermostats. It'll be weird to see my needle off the 160 mark after all these years. I hope I don't see it on the 210 mark now.

part number as listed in this thread. Got it from MazdaComp for $10 with gasket (ok, like 17 with shipping and tax, but it's in the name of science)
People who don't take advantage of MazdaComp have small penises. And baldspots. |
or they just pick it up at Rosenthal on their way to work and don't pay shipping. oh shnap.

Just changing thermostats did that. I noticed this a couple years back, which is when I switched. So I suspect it's an age thing (though I'll admit the mechanism remains a mystery to me).
The main part of this thermo has 193 stamped on it. Man, that's way hotter than I'm used to running, it will take a while to get used to the new position for the needle. I wish I could find a dual stage in the 180* range? I don't know. I'll let you know what I find out. |
Bumping old thread
This is my first post on miataturbo. I just bought a black 95 I plan to turbo. My last vehicle was a jeep srt8. The 160 thermostat would only be beneficial if the fan temps were also lowered.
Just changing the thermostat does nothing but prolong the engine from heating up. Combining a 160 degree tstat with the fans kicking on earlier = colder engine temp. This of course, is all assuming an MS can adjust the fans...that will be my first mod. |
so.. your first post is to bump a thread that has not been posted to in half a decade.
You say your going to install a 160 degree stat when said 5 year old thread basically says not to.. ok... |
Interesting
First mod being the MS...
Technically you can gain some HP by putting a 160 degree T stat with appropriate fan adjustments. |

Five years and three months. Not quite the all-time record, but a damn respectable effort. |
