Description

AEROFLOW Hi Flow Thermostat, Ford Chevy Holden Nissan, Barra, 180°F | 80°C

A reliable thermostat is a critical component of your engine management system, and standard factory units often fail to cope with the extreme conditions of motorsport. The Aeroflow Performance Hi-Flow Thermostat (Part No: AF49-1044) is engineered specifically for high-performance street, drag racing, and track applications, opening fully and consistently at 180°F (80°C).

Unlike standard thermostats that can be pushed shut by the immense pressure of high-volume water pumps, this high-flow design is built to resist large variations in coolant pressure at elevated RPMs. This ensures a consistent, unrestricted flow of coolant exactly when your engine needs it most, mitigating the risk of costly overheating or catastrophic engine failure during heavy load or sustained high revs.

Manufactured from premium copper and brass, this thermostat offers superior resistance to corrosion for long-lasting reliability. It is an essential, preventative upgrade for any custom engine build requiring precise and dependable temperature control.
