96 vtir thermostat spec

[hondaracermd]

hi everyone, i believe that honda uses the same thermostat accross most of its range on the 96 integras and other vehicles. im just wondering, is the spec in aus the same as the rest of the world? im in canada at the moment and can buy the oem thermo for alot cheaper than in australia, and its designed to open at 78 degrees celcius. is that the same as the oem thermo we would buy in australia? just want to make sure its the same so that i dont get my engine running to hot in summer :)
cheers.

aus one opens up at 82 83 someone verify??
i remember that theres an aftermarket one which is like 25 bucks and opens up 1 deg after the oem im 100% on that
but dont forget if u change thermostat u gotta change the rubber surround.

OEM thermo comes with this rubber surround.
Remember to position it correctly !
