Mazmart's New Product ! Lower Temp Thermostat !
 

Story : I should've got this on Monday or so. but then stupid ass USPS decided that instead of ringing my door bell for me to pick it up, he/she should "throw" the box into my front yard(Its locked but ... still)

then the snowstorm came and covered it up ...

Went to my front yard this morning cuz snow finally melt, then I noticed this box in the middle of my front yard.

Then I opened it :

O_o

This is da boooooooooomb :)

The top of the Thermostat read "76 degrees Celsius", so I suppose its Initial-opening is 76 Celsius/168.8 degrees Fahrenheit(need to confirm with Paul/Sheldon)

Stock Initial-opening is 80-84 Celsius/176-183 Fahrenheit.

I hope I can install this tomorrow, 30% chance of rain ... it might not rain, right?

Thanks to Mazmart for letting me to test this new product :) (I am a lab rat now ... :))


P.S. : Picture taken from my Camera Phone, Xperia X1 rox baby ! :lol:

Nice, price?

I'll let people @ Mazmart to answer that question :)

I'll be looking at the results on this. And if Paul ever want's to test it out here in the desert where I can certainly put it to it's limits :Eyecrazy: let me know.

Damn, I wanted to install my water pump while I was messing with the BHR coils. I'll wait until the thermostat is for sell.

hey he told me this was comign soon! i asked but forget what he answered- fail open or fail closed?

ooohhh, nice!

Fail open my friend. Of course :).

I think people will be quite pleased.

Paul.

Hey NY.. I can't read that label on the box, can you make your addy a bit bigger? Like.. bigger than the box bigger? that would be great. Thanks! :)

Just kidding.. that looks pretty neat.

Ooooohhhh!!! I can't wait for this one!

^^^ you AZ guys don't need that! ;)

why would you want such a thing - it wont improve cooling .......

Maybe strictly for the 'fail open' feature - most fail shut....

S

thank you i thought so

hell yeah :) the opening temp is an improvement as well

I hate to be the materialistic weasel of the group, but how much is this gonna cost?

no tstat for you, rude boy!!

Looks like I'll be testing this bad boy out also. I know I can put it through it's paces.
Stay tuned. :eyetwitch

Sick!

I hope I can get this install tomorrow, still quite a lot of snow in my backyard ... :( plus it might rain tomorrow, will see what happens.

Thats cool I guess :eyetwitch

Your excuses don't fly today my son. Get to work! :whipping:

The reason for the RE-medy thermostat
 

The purpose of this thermostat is primarily to change the range of the 'Gatekeeper'. That's basically what your thermostat does; when the set temperatures are achieved the gatekeeper re-directs the flow of water (Or whatever liquid heat transferring agent) from the by-pass (Where it keeps circulating in the block avoiding the radiator) to the radiator for exposure to air, where it is able to ditch some of it's unwanted heat.

I refer to it as the gatekeeper because: It doesn't matter how good our water pump is or how good your radiator is if this control mechanism keeps trying to achieve 200 plus degF . If the gatekeeper sees 184 deg it starts going "Whoa, hold up, things are getting to cool around here!" and starts to close the radiator passage while opening the bypass.

Our unit is intended to begin opening at 169 degF and be full open at least 10 deg lower than stock. Our unit has a better transition as well in terms of how much area is open when the bypass is completely closed. The stock version is less than optimal in this regard.

Ultimately, the thermostat cannot stop a catastrophic overheat nor can it make up for other deficiencies (Bad or in-efficient water pump, poorly sealing cap,wrong cap pressure, low fluid levels, improper ccolant to water ratios, in-sufficient radiator surface area exposure, inop cooling fan/s etc) but it's a very important piece in the puzzle of creating a better cooling environment. On a really hot day if there is the potential for your cooling capabilities to be maxed out, then a lower range thermostat will delay that possibility. Essentially it is helping to maximize the effectiveness of other positive things you may do or have done; like a better water pump, a better radiator, better airflow, modified fan temps etc.

It's all synergy folks :).

Its raining ... T_T :( :squint: :icon_no2: :uhh:

God damn it man ... I was about to take stuff apart then the rain decided to fall from the sky ... I am still on my winter tires I wanna change them out (too soft for regular temp use) ... Guess not :( :( :( :(

I WANT TO INSTALL IT ! ARGH ! STOP RAINING ALREADDDDY !

i installed my coilovers in a -10 degree garage!! wear gloves 3 shirts and a sweater and 2 pants youll be fine =]]

a little water never hurt anyone =]]

Paul I want one....
