The MINI provides the perfect blend of a classic shape and modern performance and handling. Whether your MINI is a commuter or an S-track rat, an efficient cooling system is necessary for consistent performance and engine longevity. An unreliable and inefficient setup can lead to overheating, accelerated wear, and potential internal engine damage. The Mishimoto MINI Racing Thermostat is precision engineered to provide your MINI with optimal cooling efficiency even in the most demanding environments. Mishimoto racing thermostats promote greater cooling efficiency by significantly decreasing high engine temperatures. Once the engine is fully warmed up, the Mishimoto racing thermostat will open at a lower temperature (180°F) compared to standard thermostats (195°F). This allows coolant to flow through the engine sooner, thus reducing and maintaining cooler engine temperatures. Mishimoto thermostats are digitally calibrated, utilise high-quality wax to ensure precise and consistent opening temperatures, and include a gasket for seamless, leak-free installation. As with all our products, this racing thermostat includes the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty
