My bad translation!
"Operating temperature 65 ℃ (genuine 78 ℃) fully open temperature 83 ℃ (genuine 90 ℃) in a high-power engine HONDA cars, water temperature and engine power are located in a close relationship. When the water temperature rises, ECU and the fuel increase, rapid power-down will start by the crisis avoidance measures such as retarding the ignition timing (correction MAP). This product is set lower the valve opening temperature (main valve (sluice) is "starts to open" temperature) than normal thermostat, by allowing the cooling water is circulated early to the radiator, the ideal 75 ℃ ~ always water temperature It becomes possible to set around 85 ℃. As a result, power-down, heat sagging, it is possible to suppress, prevent knocking, it will be possible to bring out the original engine power. Street ~ sports driving essentials that does not matter the stage to the circuit"

Apprxomately $63.85 from what I can see.

Looking at this website --> Continuously Variable Pains?

I'm considering getting this low temperature thermostat to make sure the CVT stays cool. I had no idea that the CVT transmission is somehow tied into the cooling system.

"Another major killer of CVT is the cooling system. Make sure your radiator and coolant is perfect because that system is also part of the transmission cooling. Overheating will cause your CVT oil to deteriorate. This is Bangladesh and it’s always on fire."


This being said, this is on the list of items that I will be getting at some point.
