180 degrees, most mechanics will tell you that is wrong though hell so will most gearheads not familiar with this engine. The different from normal cooling circuit uses a non-standard 180 degree stat stock don't let anyone convince you otherwise. It is also specific to this engine using twoplates to control flow rather than just one.

the stat is 180, fans come on at deg F 226º "OFF" at 221º and secondary fan "ON" at 235º "OFF" at 230º, i would tune the turn on and off fan temps, on the PCM they will be deg C, sometimes using a lower stat well actually make the car run hotter do to the fact that the coolant wont stay in the radiator long enough to get cooled
