LOLs good thing i read it right because i've bought both!!

Fitting it off the car will be so much easier! my hands are scratched and cut to hell and back! Only downside is you will only find out that you positioned the thermostat in the wrong place and it leaks when its in the car! I had to re fit and test mine 3 times before getting it to seal and seat correctly.

I used a genuine thermostat and found that it fitted fine but had to be in a specific spot for the 1.6 cover to sit properly. In order to do this i basically glued it down with instant gasket sealant to stop it spinning/moving inside and put this sealant on every sealing surface to go belts and braces. Results were good and i see 9 degree's C less than standard cooling system. SUCCESS! :thumb-up:

 

Hi, are any of these kits still available?

 

Hi, sure they are (unless stated otherwise in first post)

 

Good news!

I'm pretty sure it's a 'B' kit i'm after (otherwise standard 1994 1.8 Eunos), but I'll visually check tonight and then get an order through to you.

 

Hi,

I haven't had a chance to get under the bonnet and remove the crossover to check... Would I be right in saying that the mk1 1.6 has the fan switch in front of the engine whereas the mk1 1.8 uses the sensor at the back of the engine?

If someone can confirm this, I can order ASAP?

 

You are right. If you have 1.8, then you can order B kit straight away, A kit is only for 1.6 NA I PM'd you details on payment, you can send me your address in return.

 

Excellent, thanks!

Order incoming...

 

A small research: guys with EGR pipes, how did the installation go? Were you able to retain the EGR system, or modifications were necessary? Thanks!

 

i'll be doing mine in the next couple of months ( engine out) . I will let you know if I get stuck

 

full kit arrived today, very quick delivery and well pleased with quality of items delivered, many thanks Whisper!

 

Whisper. I`m waiting for my kit

BTW. I think, there is small mistake on your first post picture "Re-route Cooling Flow". Inlet to Heater Core should be before Thermostat, not after.

 

Waiting for reply from whisper, send a pm 2 days ago. I need one by next week lol

Tycjan, Vincent2010 - replied to PMs. Usually I'm not on the Internetz during weekends, sorry

Currently the kits are out of stock as all were sold within a week. New ones should be ready in 7 days or so, I'll keep you updated

Because of current unavailability I will prolong the discounted price accordingly through January. Thanks for understanding.

 

Before I fit this kit, do I need to change the stat for one which opens at a higher temperature? I have heard stories about engines running too cool.

Advice appreciated.

Sean.

 

Your "idle" (lowest) temperature is set by your thermostat opening temperature regardless of whether you have reroute or not. You can run too cold if you change OEM thermostat to cooler one or when it's faulty. With 88 deg. thermostat I see no reason for engine to run cold.

On 1.6 turbo with 82 deg. thermostat I idle on 80-83 degrees C. For stock engine I recommend 88 degree thermostat.

 

Ok , have fitted this but had problems as it fouls the top of the gearbox (1.8 with 6 speed) . I had to remove about 1-1.5mm of material from the very bottom to allow it to fit. Also the temp sender wont allow fitment of the dual opening thermostat when its installed in the correct position. I have put the sender at the front of the engine and blanked this opening off.

Otherwise quality is good.

Thanks for the info and sorry for the issue, I will make necessary adjustments to clear 6-speed gearbox.

About the thermostat - I mention that two-valve might not fit properly in my first post (parts needed and installation instructions). I provide a copper O-ring to raise the sensor a bit, so it has a more room if necessary. With one-valve type I didn't need to use it, everything fitted together well.

 

Just to add, my Eunos is 1.6 5 speed and found the spacer also fouled at the bottom, no biggy to file a "flat" to it though! As said quality great and whilst I did not enjoy doing it ( a bit tight and fiddly) all sorted today, probably about 3 hours in total but had a few other bits to remove up and running again, great! And thanks whisper!

 

Similar comment - garage said they had to machine some of the spacer off to get it on without fouling the gearbox (1994 1.8 5-speed). Otherwise good kit and has been working well.

 

Sent you a pm ????

 

Likewise on the 1st

 

did any of you take a pic of what you filed flat as I have the engine out at the moment and will be doing this soon
