how is the thermostat plumbed in???????

any pics?????

and

how is the charge cooler plumbed in??????

any pics?????

 

Will sort some pics out.



Dave.

 

cheers dude

 

this is a pic of the thermostat housing,should be easy enough to sort out.



the looped bit of pipe is there to bypass the intercooler/charge cooler, i have an rs500 type so i had to block it.

the two outlets which the blue hose is on,one will be the inlet into the ic/cc and one will outlet from the ic/cc.

Hope it has helped you.



Dave.

 

dave thats fooking awesome


do you think it would matter if i have the water going a different way through my turbo??????

 

if you have a saff thermo housing,the elbow on the thermostat will be facing the other way,that way, the metal pipe that runs across the ex. man will mate up to it.

Saff has a straight pipe,escos has one with the s bend in it.



Dave.

 

Spiky the water will only go 1 way as it is driven by the shaft that only spins 1 way. So get out there and change it round.

 

Not too sure Steve, but i'm going to bypass the water to my turbo for the track day, help keep the temps down.



Dave.

 

thats my thermostat.


3drstretch, ok will do

 

Spiky
When you bleed the water system ,,make shure the car isnt jacked up at the front as the water gets trapped at the back of the head and it wont bleed properly ,,Make shure the car is level Just a tip if ya didnt know

NORTH YORKS RS SPARES,

have you got the water pipes thats goes across the ex manifold????

and cheers for that advice

 

dave cos4x4,

next question, which pipes connects to which pipe on charge cooler????
can you remeber from when yours run the charge cooler???

 

The metal ones ???

 

With the thermostat you have,elbow facing the rad,you will need the escos metal pipe, the s bend one( you can just see it in my pics ).

thats IF you are using the standard ic/cc.

if you have a rs500 type i/c you will not need the ic/cc so you will then need to do as i have done,get the horse shoe shaped pipe and redirect the water.

Also, if you are fitting a rs500 type i/c, you can use a saff thermostat housing and saff straight metal pipe( these will mate up in a straight line,therefore you will not need the s bend pipe and the horse shoe pipe.)

I have the thermostat housing off the saff somewhere,also the ic/cc if you need it,might have the metal pipe too,the straight one.

Very cheap to you too.

Hope you understood all that. lol.



Dave.

 

this one

 

think that the metal pipe went to the top pipe in the ic/cc and the elbow to the bottom one.

Not too sure Steve, but not sure if it matters tbh, as long as its flowing through it.



Dave.

 

for now i'm gonna use the charge cooler,

the pipe that faces forward on my thermostat, is that to connect to the top or the bottom of the charge cooler??

i'm sure later in life i'll put a big intercooler, but i just cant afford it at the moment.

 

that is the escos pipe, the s bend one.

the saff pipe is a straight ish one.



Dave.

 

i want the esc cos one,

it looks better

no seriously, as i do actually need this one

 

have you got one, can use mine if you want, give me it back when you finished with it.



Dave.

 

yeah, there's one on the car as it is, so i'll use it for now, then get a big intercooler when money is better


cheers for the pics and advice dude

 

I havent got one Spiky ,,sorry ,,Special to the escoss

And mine didnt have a big yellow ring round it either

 

Any probs can phone me.

will p.m you my number.



Dave.

 

what colour ring you have then?? ..pmsl



i just realised, my water pipes on turbo are actually correct just my pipes will be different shape , which is what confused me
