Thanks for the video, interesting, the youtube video showed max temp at center vent to be around 70-71C range. Perfect.

I have played with different tstats in my 2007 Honda Odyssey and I changed it from factory vent temp of 150F (65C) to 160F (71C) by using a hotter tstat. Believe it or not the 2007 Honda Odyssey came from factory with a 77C tstat, too cold for cold climate. I fitted an 82C tstat and output went from 150F ---> 160F at center vent.

A 10F difference is huge in cold weather, trust me.

So this Estonia-made heater core output is excellent b/c it can crank out temp of 71C.

The a/c was turned off at the time so perhaps it may be somewhat lower with a/c . Looks like another testing session's in order shortly.

Watch it on Yputube scratch-n-Sniff to get the downside.....

Seriously, some aftermarket heater cores have a nasty smell problem , documented in other threads
