Dear friends, where they live must be the shallowest part of the land in relation to distance from hell! kkkk, joke, poor is very hot! Thus, in some other cars of mine, even against mechanics and electricians, came to remove the thermostat of them!, and it was very significant improvement in tenperature! Does a Ferrari for the result would also be good!?
If you are asking if its good to take out the thermostat from a ferrari, then its a no. If in tip top shape the 348/355 have a very good cooling system. There are guys on here who also live in hot climates. If your car has an overheating problem, find out why.
The Ferrari thermostat works backwards from the normal cars. That is, the thermostat closes the bypass loop when a certain temperature is reached. {In most cars, the thermostat opens the main loop.} When the challenge cars have their thermostat removed, a plug is inserted into the bypass loop so the main loop functions by circulating water.
Hello, well, it's not that he is overheated, just assumed that one of the things for which there is such a valve is used to keep the engine relatively warm in cold weather environments, (Europe, Japan, USA, Etc. ..) As I said, I did it in cars that already have glanders, and unlike what I had been advised by electricians and mechanics, (they said that the rpm would oscillate endlessly, uncontrolled electronic injection, etc!), and none occurred! But we're talking about a Ferrari, give my fear!, just know that at least an hour and a half after the car he gets hot, not to mention the slow traffic, the electric fans do not stop! In short, whatever! I think a little more!, I see no one here ever done it! Thanks!
Bad as I know, this is the beginning of all thermostatic valve, it retains water in the engine block when the water reaches a certain tenperature (heat), heat acts on the spring valve, causing it to release the hot water and allowing entry of water already cooled properly (coming from the radiators), and repeatedly so is the circle!, since without this valve, there is always a constant water flow colder on the block, thereby making it virtually never warms both! Something not recommended for cold places! because the hot water retained in the block, makes the same does not suffer abrupt changes in temperature (heat shock), it will cool very slowly, otherwise know of cases where they even crack, split same! Recalling further that this thing existed or thermostat in the past 80 years, she arrived here along with electronic fuel injection! (at least in Brazilian cars!) As for the plug, it's really necessary!, otherwise the water pump would suck water from a part of before entering the block! (like she was always in the closed position!) and there's a good trade would be on the block !
