LMR C7 160 Degree Thermostat with Billet Housing!
 
We are currently in the design phase and waiting on the test piece to come back from CNC. We are looking to have them available within the next 30 days. Just wanted to stop in and let you guys know that a solution for your thermostats is in development and will be out soon!

The housing will be Billet Aluminum. We are still working on what colors to anodize them.

We will be sure to keep you updated on the progress of this part!

Please feel free to call the shop with any questions.

Thanks,

On balance, what benefit will this offer a NA or F/I C7?

spaceaholic 08-21-2014 06:17 PM

Also...is LMR looking at cooling system enhancements beyond this product (i.e. radiator/fan)

LMR,
Do you think, (since your knee deep in it already) you can make a package deal that would include: radiator, optional shroud, thermostat & housing, & a canned tune? Call it a 'Beat the Heat' package?

Looking forward to seeing this....

We are definitely working on development of every aspect when it comes to improving on GMs already impressive C7 Corvette. We should be able to offer some really great "packages" in the near future with an array of LMR parts for customers/shops to install themselves.

We will have pricing for standard, like what you see in picture, and also offer anodized ones. We should have prices posted by tomorrow. The test today was a success. Anyone interested in our unit please do not hesitate to pm/email/or even call the shop to get your name on the list for the first batch that is being made.

Given this is installed in the high point of the cooling system, can the housing/thermostat be exchanged with the OEM components without the requirement to drain the system?

Higgs Boson 09-05-2014 01:14 AM

it's going to require draining at least some of the coolant

Theta 09-05-2014 06:01 AM

Put me down for one - need to call you tomorrow anyway about the mounts. ;)

ect 09-10-2014 06:20 PM

If you're asking that, you probably don't... :lol:

Would prefer an LMR radiator solution with the thermostat but if that doesnt come to pass Dewitt just released their's:
