Help...B18C cooling and A/C

[EK Civic R]

Well... the summer is coming and the hot weather is probably gonna affect a lot of cars now... I just got my radiator fixed and I think it's almost time for thermo change as well.

I was just wondering what brand thermostat is good?? And what sort of price I would be looking at...

I've been looking at spoon and mugen in particular.. what do others think?

Also I have a problem.. Whenever I turn on my ac the idle drops dramatically and then slowly goes back up to normal.. When I say drop I mean it goes down to around or even below 500rpm.. What could the cause of this be.. and how can I fix??

Thanks all..

whats wrong with a honda thermostat, or even a generic repco one?

paid $24 for mine at repco, and $13 for the rubber gasket.. works fine

factory Honda Thermostat is good

I woulnt put in anything else.

i agree with ecu-man ..
oem ones are good :thumbsup:

i just bought one for a b18c for $50 today .. it comes with the rubber seal ..
its also fits b16's ... their the same one
oem is much better than some unknown stuff considering its only 50 bucks
