Is it worth while with the vq35 to change the thermostat to get it to run any richer?

you're special

 

It depends on how much you spend on the thermostat.

 

These cars run rich stock... Too rich... why go more?

 

Putting on a CAI which historically runs lean on top. So thats why I was inquiring, Thanks for all the great responses
Or this phenomenon is true according to the dyno reports from teqs car

 

Why play with a third party and not go to a closer source... i.e MAF volatage AKA AFC.

 

So what does this have to do with the thermostat?

 

Hmmm I thought the thermostat would be simpler. But I suppose I will just wait to the ecu mapping is straight. Nmexmax Thanks for you input bro



To answer the other question aussie983 I am not sure it even holds true for the vq35 or even 30 but in the mid 90's we would chip the the car and change the thermostat to trick the motor into thinking that its was cold and it would inturn give more fuel

 

at first i laughed but this sounds interesting, i might have to check this out with some old school mechanics.

 

The engine will run rich in order to warm itself up faster among other things.. open/closed loop ... FSM > *
