Mishimoto 02-06 Acura RSX 60 Degree Racing Thermostat - misMMTS-RSX-02

The Mishimoto racing thermostat for the 2002-2006 Acura RSX will promote greater cooling efficiency throughout your engine. The Mishimoto racing thermostat will significantly decrease high engine temperature resulting from modified and upgraded turbo applications. Once the engine is fully warmed up, the Mishimoto racing thermostat will open up at a lower temperature (68 C) than standard RSX thermostats (78 C). This allows the coolant to flow through the engine sooner, thus reducing and maintaining cooler engine temperatures. Engine coolant thermostat designed to regulate coolant flow and maintain optimal operating temperature. Ensures efficient warm-up, prevents overheating, and supports reliable performance with a precise fit. 2002-2006 Acura RSX 2.0 Liter MRMA, 2005-2006 Acura RSX 2.0 Liter NSN4, 2005-2006 Acura RSX 2.0 Liter PTD6, 2002-2004 Acura RSX 2.0 Liter W2M5, 2002-2004 Acura RSX 2.0 Liter X2M5, 2003-2005 Honda Civic 2.0 Liter NRH3, 2005-2006 Honda CR-V 2.4 Liter GPLA, 2005-2006 Honda CR-V 2.4 Liter GPPA, 2002-2004 Honda CR-V 2.4 Liter MCVA, 2005-2006 Honda CR-V 2.4 Liter MKYA, 2005-2006 Honda CR-V 2.4 Liter MKZA, 2002-2004 Honda CR-V 2.4 Liter MRVA, 2004-2006 Honda CR-V 2.4 Liter PSA4, 2002-2003 Honda CR-V 2.4 Liter Z2M4
