Hey Guys and Gals

I am in a spot of bother as it is the night before new years eve and i as replacing my thermostat (as my car overheated today and it seemed to go open after it got realy realy hot

cool back down close then heat back up.)

I took the bottom bolt out of the housing and noticed it was leaking from the bot or what i thought was the bolt...turned out to be a crack in the housing

I think i caused it when loosening the bolt somehow but to my question.

Would any one have a thermostat housing that want to sell i am in the north/eastern suburbs but work in dandy. I will come to you to pick up just pm me me price availability new years eve...

regards

i figured out that i did it as i was tightening the bolt as i have done it to another....sigh,

would this be because i have the wrong thermostat in there?

I was sold is dayco DT19E-BP does any one know if this the correct part number from dayco?

regards

Sealing surface is clean? No lumps/old gasket that protrude and cause the housing not to sit flush?

If it does not sit flush and on a uneven surface, expect it to crack when tightening.

Also tighten the bolts evenly to spead the load.

To crack 2 in a row, something sounds odd like crap not cleaned off the mating surface

sounds weird why you have cracked thermostat housings, I'd say you either have too much old gasket on it, or wrong thermostat or thermostat housing for the engine or your swinging off the ratchet to much

    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
