You do not want to bypass or remove the thermostat trust me. Your car WILL over heat.
You can remove the ***** in the oil jets ofthe eccentric shaft. Is that what you are referring to?
I am sorry I was completly not thinking when I posted this.

"We have designed our own oil bypass pellet for the 13B series engine. This version works on all 1987-1995 13B Turbo engines. Engines previous to that do not require them, as they didn't have the temperature activated pellet. Over time, the stock pellet will fail, causing oil to not flow to the rotors and causing engine failure. This is a direct replacement for the stock piece, and can be done while the engine is in the car in under 15 minutes. " Fc3s.org
I had one for a year on my n/a, My car never overheated, or had heat problems. I don't see how this would make you car overheat. All it does is make it stay in the warm position, allowing oil to flow all the time.

[[/QUOTE]Over time, the stock pellet will fail, causing oil to not flow to the rotors and causing engine failure [/QUOTE]This is true, lucky I caught mine before it distroyed the complete engine. Fd3BOOST, why do you say this will cause overheating?

Justin, I think you are refering to the oil jet mod. You take the oil jets out of the e-shaft, along with their corresponding ***** and springs, and toss the ***** and springs. Then you take a carburator jet, and press it into the oil jet. The jet makes the hole smaller, but increases flow, due to the removal of the ball and spring. It is good for engines that see high rpm speeds all the time, such as airplanes, but is not really neccisary for a road car.

They're talking about the thermal pellet, not the thermostat.
