    i would guess any model car stock with a d15 would work?

    Unless you are actually using it for track work, performance thermostats can do more damage than good

    "Performance" t-stats open too soon to really allow the engine to get to operating temp at all in winter, or soon enough in summer. In winter/fall the heat won't work worth a damn becuse the t-stat opens too soon/stays open too soon.

    Trust me as long as you have a good OE t-stat, your fan(s) work, and you have no leaks there's plenty of cooling capacity from the stock cooling system. My B18B runs under 1/2 even with a stock Civic radiator.
