Hey Guys, I was checking around LSJ and LNF Themostat Hosing. I wanted to know which one flows better ? And have anyone done the swap ?

 

just wondered...y would u change it...the stock lsj one works fine

 

I'm almost positive they "flow" the exact same. The only difference/reason to change is for the degree is goes full open at, which I believe is the LSJ thermostat (170* IIRC)

 

the thermostat that comes in the lsj stock works very well for most performance needs...

 

I believe they are different?

 

What I was looking at LSJ and LNF Themostat Hosing is alittle bit different. Look at the Hosing that go to Themostat and there are 2 different route to it between LSJ and LNF.

 

not to be a ***** but i would stick with the lsj on a lsj....it works well i have never hurd of a issue with it..gm used it on every build if Im not mistaken..

 

Ok

 

You have to swap the entire housing for a few reasons.
1. The bolt pattern is different on the water neck
2. The oil cooler setups are different
3. sensor location
4. The heater core connectors are totally different.

I don't know why you would even consider swapping. Seems like a weird thing to think about, but I guess.

 

Does anyone know if LE5 to LSJ would make a difference? I'm almost positive they are different thermostats

 

It would if you were deleting your oil cooler, but thats about the only advantage. Your biggest gain would come from removing the T-stat. Only in the LSJ.
