Water neck

Anyone have seen a thermostat delete for the 1gr-fe? I am working something see pictures and let me know any thoughts.

 

No, but the thermostat is imbedded in the housing, held in place by two plastic prongs. Seems you can cut them out to remove the thermostat to re-use the oem housing. Will you be controlling the coolant temp a different manner? Street vehicles are engineered to run in 180-200 range. You mess with that, you will start having drivability issues.

 

In my case is more of a race truck also might be running water injected

 

Also I plan on simplifying the inlet side soon ill probably have pictures by monday. I just dont like how that whole water thermostat housing is.

 

That does not look like a street setup. Lol

That is some project.

 

It will be street legal lol just with a bit more power.. if you guys want more info it is on instagram @grhi.lux.
Do you think temperature would be an issue?

 

Many more details needed on this project, please share!

 

Little background on this build it is a 1976 toyota hilux with a twin turbo 1gr 6speed. Will later one be running a fueltech ft550

If it will be street driven, then you want to regulate coolant temp. A thermostat provides a quick warm-up cycle, which reduces engine wear, and lowers emissions.

 

I cant get into that thread not enough posts

 

I am not really concern about emissions

 

Ahh shit. My bad. Stick around, make some posts and check it out sometime.

BTW welcome to TW.

 

Thanks is good to talk to people with the same emgine

 

I like

 

Just looking for ideas and thoughts

 

What kind of ideas or thoughts?

 

First what you guys think about the water neck? Would it work?and if the water injected would help with heating?

 

Are you planning on keeping the OEM oil cooler?

Are you planning on having a heater in the vehicle? Doesn't look like it.

If you have the room/time the wastegates would have a far better operation for maintaining boost levels, being relocated to the bends right before the turbine inlets. They would have a significantly better prioritization.
