Mazmart thermostat and Interceptor-X: would this cause engine to run richer?
Hello,
I plan on installing Esmeril Kit on my car. I also plan to install Mazmart water pump and thermostat at the same time. Now the new thermostat open sooner than the stock thermostat and would likely result in cooler coolant temp. Would this cause the engine to run richer because the PCM senses colder coolant temp? How would this affect the AFR in general? I live in a cooler climate up in MN (cold winter, cool weather 6 or so months out of the year and 80-95F summer. Car not driven in winter) and wonder if it necessary to need this thermostat at all. I plan to use stock radiator and mazmart pump for sure. My goal is to make sure the car has the additional cooling capacity that it needs with the turbo. Car will never see track and it would be driven spiritly from time to time.
Thanks
Ronn

lucky: not sure if any FI guys are using it yet, you should check Mazmarts' thread on it to see who had them already.
you'll be fine with the thermostat + Int-X

Could you drop by and tell me later how the car behave. How this help with the coolant temp. And if the car run richer with coolant temp. I am curious. I will install mine either this week or next week. I am taking my car apart right now. Thanks.
What turbo kit you have in your car?
