Hypertech Thermomaster

I have this chip for my car but what does it do really? I heard it makes the fan come on earlier, and I need a different thermostat? How cooler will the car run?

Re: Hypertech Thermomaster

They sell a 160 therm that they suggest should be used along with. Most of us here will disagree. A 180 therm is a better choice. I think the chip will turn on fans at a lower temp which is acceptable. The chip I recall leans out the WOT(PE) a tad. Not sure is it adds timing. It might. But that can be done globally at dizzy as well.

Re: Hypertech Thermomaster

would you guys recommend putting this chip in the car? Why is the 180 better than the 160 thermo?

Re: Hypertech Thermomaster

Wont go into closed loop. May then disallow overdrive. Increases pollution. Wastes gas.
