Thermostat question

[epapp]

Any idea how the 'cooling policy' works in this system? They don't talk much about it on the website. Do they have an adjustable thermostat or is it something simple like a more aggressive fan control?

I have not seen one apart yet, but it has to be more complicated as it runs the car super hot (225F+) until you open the throttle wide, when it quickly drops the coolant to around 180F for the duration of the WOT power, then jumps back up over 225F when the thottle closes.

Got to be bypass valves and such involved to pull that kind of temp drop that quickly.
