Low Temp. Thermostat 160 Degree

The Low Temp. Thermostat 160 Degree is a precision engine cooling component engineered for 2011–2014 Ford Coyote applications where stock thermal management proves inadequate for sustained high-performance operation. Designed by JET PERFORMANCE, a trusted name in powertrain optimization for law enforcement and aftermarket automotive sectors, this thermostat maintains engine coolant at a lower temperature setpoint than OEM equivalents. This cooling strategy reduces heat-related stress on internal components, supports extended durability under demanding conditions, and enables consistent performance in vehicles subjected to towing, track use, or aggressive tuning.

The 160-degree rating opens the thermostat valve at a lower threshold than the factory 190–200-degree unit, allowing coolant circulation earlier in the warm-up cycle and maintaining a tighter thermal envelope during sustained operation. This design delivers measurable gains in cylinder head and block temperature stability, which translates to more predictable combustion, reduced knock risk on tuned applications, and improved longevity of gaskets, seals, and bearing surfaces. The housing is precision-cast and valve calibration is factory-tested to OEM tolerance, ensuring reliable operation and proper fit within the Ford Coyote cooling system architecture.

This thermostat is essential for owners of 2011–2014 Coyote-equipped vehicles running forced-induction kits, ECU tune files, or operating in high-ambient or towing scenarios where factory cooling margins are marginal. Installation is direct-fit—no modifications to the water pump housing or coolant lines are required—making retrofit straightforward for technicians familiar with Ford engine disassembly. Weighing just 0.24 lbs and measuring 4.65 × 2.3 × 5.35 inches, it integrates seamlessly into the original thermostat cavity and operates in concert with the stock cooling fan and radiator.
