Copper has better heat conductivity. Aluminum is cheaper. It is your decision.

 

2-how can i get thermostat 80c because in Egypt i found 88c only(very bad chinese auto parts )

I read this kind of question from time to time in this section of the forum. How do you think somebody from the UK or from another country could help?? The answer is in your country. Your local part dealers should do a better job. But I am sure they import cheap Chinese parts because that is the local market request. The majority of people will not pay double or triple to buy original parts. Any other solution would be very expensive.

Thank you Ricardo 

what about run my felicia without thermostat to avoid bad chinese auto parts in this important part(thermostat)

[RicardoM]

An engine works most efficient when the coolant temperature is at around 90 C. The thermostat is a temperature regulator that has two phases of operation:

1. It helps heating up the engine fast from cold start by staying closed and allowing the coolant to flow only in "the small cooling circuit"
2. cools the engine when too hot by opening "the big cooling circuit"

Running without a thermostat prolongs phase 1 and the fuel consumption is higher.

Also, and further to what Ricardo says, remember the Egypt is potentially every bit as cold as, say, the UK at night.
