Going to change the waterpump on the 88 GL wagon FI EA82. Do most people tun the 192 or stick with the OME 180 degree thermostate

I'd stick with the stock one, which appears to be the 192 degree thermostat.

 

It will run more efficiently and have more power.

What?? the AutoZone said the 180 was OME. Another LynnHood owner,,

I am over by Martha Lake

192 is out of the service manual.

NoahDL88, thanks where about's in Lynnwood are you? I just picked up this '88 GL Wagon as my first Soobi.. Should have it running in a week. So far the stores don't know which waterpump I have and have to order it anyway.

Where do you get your parts?

I usually go with Bowwow on Filbert road. That is if i'm not going OEM

Its OEM, not OME

 

I only ran a 180 when my head gaskets were going as a band aid fix.

 

Otherwise get a genine subaru one. Seems to work WAY better.
