thermostat?
 

i think i need to be replacing the thermostat on my little ZC soon (hopefully tomorrow) so after looking at them i see there are different temp ranges. Now i would like for my car to heat up normally fast, but i plan to install my turbo within the next 3 months. So i would like to have a thermostat that will work good now and later. What temp should i get?

thanks to everyone in advance.

Also on a side note, the reason i think i need a thermostat is that the car takes about 20-30 minutes of moderate driving to reach normal temperature. BU'T my heater isn't working and being as that it started snowing last night and i have no heater, i'm gonna have a long drive to work tomorrow morning. I did check the Buttlerfly valve and i felt the heater hoses, and they are warm but not hot. So i'm thinking thats the problem. if its not then by all means someone correct me!

Use the stock temp. (195)...if your cooling system is working properly, it should warm up to 195 and there it should stay. I think that I safe saying that just about everone here is using a stock temp thermostat with no problem. ----, I even have my turbo water cooled and I have NEVER seen my gauge move above where it sat before I touched anything...even with a motor swap. (Using the CX,1 row, raditor)

ok cool thanks. Do you think thats the reason my heater isn't working? simply because the car isn't getting warm?
