What do you need a lower t stat for?

 

I would like to lower the operating temperature.

 

Gotta ask... why?

These engines have sensors that measure many and various metrics. If you unilaterally lower the operating temperature, the engine will constantly try to correct the "problem" that it senses.

IMO, you are asking for trouble.

I’m not asking for advice. I’m just looking for a lower range t-stat.

You probably aren't going to get many replies with responses like that ^ .

 

Unfortunately I don't know of anybody that makes one.

 

That’s seems to be the case. I’ve been all over the internet trying to find one. I’ve seen an old thread on here of someone who customized a 107 stat but that’s way too low for what I’d like to accomplish. I guess I’ll just have to deal with it.

 

Why not break out your caliper , get some measurements and fire up Google , there are probably plenty of snowmobile / motorcycle thermostats that would be available with a lower threshold and the same dimensions.

 

Yeah that’s a possible solution. This was just the first step in seeing if anyone knew of an alternate t-stat for the holder. I can buy an aluminum tstat holder from Everything Can Am but through my correspondence with them they only sell the factory spec stat for their holder. The actual stat dimensions would be helpful provided those dimensions are listed on any possible alternative. Otherwise it’s a constant buy and return that I’d like to avoid.

 

When I had my 07 Outlander 800 there were no tuners or options. I was buds with the Tech at the BRP shop....I had purchased multiple snowmobiles there over the years....anyways he took a sled thermostat and turned it down to fit in a lathe. I don't remember the numbers (everything was in metric) but it was cooler than the ATV t-stat. I ran the custom T-stat and Engine Ice successfully for years.

Nowadays most guys just get a reflash to turn the fan on earlier and run longer...

 

I can accomplish the fan cycle temps without flashing the ecm but was trying to find the stat as well.
