I am running a lower temp theromstat in my NSX. I installed this when I was installing the BBSC kit on my NSX. Everyone that lives here in Houston TX knows it gets really hot in summer so I figured I would run a lower temp thermostat. From my research I bought one from Mishimoto, and it costs about $50 to $60 max.

The Mishimoto racing thermostat for the Acura NSX will promote greater cooling efficiency throughout your engine. The Mishimoto racing thermostat will significantly lower high engine temperature produced by modified and upgraded turbo applications. Once the engine is fully warmed up the Mishimoto racing thermostat will open up at a lower temperature than standard thermostats, also allowing the coolant to flow through the engine sooner thus reducing and maintaining cooler engine temperatures.

Model: MMTS-S2K-00
MSRP: $60.00

You can also find one from Spoon and Mugen.

After my install along with the BBSC kit, the temp is definely lower on the gauge, but now that it is cold out the car runs cold, the gauge shows significantly lower temp. The bad side to this is that the heater in the car is not hot/warm enough and I'm freezing my tail off. lol So be ready for that.

Good luck and hope this helped you.
