During Rev temp drops to under 180 and off throttle it rises over 190. Fans on at 180 each time

Hot heat, cold a/c, previous temps hovered at 190-194, never saw over 194 on coolant temps. Now it will sit and idle to over that until I throttle up. Instant drop in temps all the way below fan kick on temps.

Not likely to be the problem, but tune adjusted for 160 Tstat?  Fans would come on earlier.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Was thinking same thing. They ping on at 180 exactly every time.

Would temps drop like that with higher rpm's causing a pressurized flow?

The help is much appreciated and the reason I donated to the site.

A little cooling system theory:

More flow at higher rpm, more heat transfer, more cooling effect.

Another topic discussed earlier in this forum, was that the 160 TS may be made for a hot sided application and the stock is a cold sided application. 

I had every symptom you've described so far when I used the 160.

Newbie ? This meaning other side of intake? And did you just end up going with 170 TS or stock?

I'm not an expert exactly what the difference is.  Reicshe Thermostats have a good explain and diagram on the difference.

Yes I just stayed with 170 with no problems.  Running LMS v8 3bar tune.  I had them custom my fan settings a few times to get them where I wanted since their lower fan settings ran the fans all the time, even in the winter.

Roger that. Livernois mentioned they'd rather the fan run than kick on and off. What temp you have yours set to kick on and how's it working? Thx again

They wouldn't tell me exactly.  Mine ran too much, even making the fans squeak.  It's in between what they had me at 170 TS and stock.  it took a few tries, but they finally got it right.

If I'm reading my earlier emails, with the stock (180 TS) settings I think the fans come on around 190 degrees.  With LMS custom for a 170 TS, they original had them come on at 180 and go off lower than that. 

With a 170 TS the car likes to run 182-186 degrees on high end dipping to 178 and sometimes cooler.  So I had them adjust the fans again to come on around 184 or so and go off 178 or 180. 

I tried the 160 TS before this to see if that would help, but ended up where your at now and went back to a 170.
