Use what works I guess but I personally would rather original parts /fitment.
Well as my engine is going into a group n escort cosworth shell, the car wont be original so concourse/originality isn't my main concern, I just want a reliable engine
Ive done some research on the stat and i have the older 2bolt style thermostat so i dont think i can fit a 4x4 stat as thats 2 bolt?

some of the water hoses are different if using a swirl pot in front of block
a good fast road cossie is stage 1 on standard injs etc-any more than that is really overkill for the road/pocket imho
to do the basic job anything from level1/6/8 will do but the better the ecu/later the more functions that can be added
standard boost is very low[perhaps a bit slow]-my saph cossie runs this,and its night and day to my stage 3 3dr
I will be going 2wd
Water hoses are one of my main concerns as I will eventually be buying a samco kit so idealy id like to either buy a 2wd kit or a 4x4, I dont want to have to buy individual hoses.
Im not after big bhp id like to see between 300-400 and just enjoy it and get it dialed in sweet.

The 4x4 intercooler is 25% larger, so this would be beneficial, depending on what your planning on doing tune wise?
The cooling system improvements were in the head itself, as well as a revised different.

yes i thought the 4x4 intercooler would be larger I just needed confirmation, are the fittings on both coolers the same?

As for alternator/powersteering..... If you're not fitting aircon, put powersteering pump under inlet and this allows you to fit drop bracket and move alternator away from heat of turbo.
Can i fit a 4x4 stat on a 2wd head as ive noticed my thermostat is 2bolts not 3.
Wont be having aircon and have considered a drop bracket, are they realy that beneficial?
