VECTRA C 2.2 TURBO SRI 16VALVE 250/60BHP (rolling road to let me know soon)

[Dave Gilbert]

New thermostat housing has arrived and the flat area I was hopeing to use for an AN fitting isnt flat so not sure what to do now, anyone good at ally welding? Or got any better ideas?

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Was hopeing this was a flat surface.
Ohwell found the problem now how to get round it.

 

[evocarlos]

you cant put it there anyway with the f23 box the cables are in the way

theres a hole in the bottom of the water pump that would take a banjo bolt

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Hmmmm that sounds easier, any pics so I know what im looking at?

 

[evocarlos]

 

[Dave Gilbert]

thats a nice water pump harhar.

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Iv been up n taken the thermostat housing off the z20net and they mount up the same(obviusly) so whats in the way to stop me using the net 1?

Also had another thought(not sure if its a good 1 or not) but the temp sensor(I think) on the se 1 could I use that hole for the water pipe to the turbo n move the sensor? Or am I over complicateing it as useual and just go from the water pump(not the green 1)

[Dave Gilbert]

I see, so whats this hole on the water pump? Is that my best option? Or get a pipe welded on

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Also found that the pipe that runs across the back of the engine is different, well its the same but the tab that locates it into the thermostat housing is in a different position so the pipe sits different(probably because of the different exhaust manifold)

 

[Dave Gilbert]

evocarlos just bin googling and found your thread about your thermostat modification, iv commented on it so I should thought about it but could I do something similar to yours and go above the stat or is that going to cause issues waiting for the stat to open?

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Or could I drill a hole somewhere on the housing and add some thing like these and have it ally welded

[Dave Gilbert]

Whats turned up today?

 

[dewismotorsport]

I can weld you a fitting on

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Cheers dewismotorsport

 

[Dave Gilbert]

I will have to figger out what fitting I need then figger out where it wants to be and send it you, thanks dewismotorsport

oh n guess the parcel is a intercooler pipe but its the wrong 1 so its going back. Dam it.

 

[Dave Gilbert]

NET on the bottom SE on the top. Just cleaned the se with a brillo.

Might get some anosol on it later depends how it feels on the hole.

 

[Dave Gilbert]

thinking of something like this on the back of the thermostat housing



should be ok on the back shouldnt it? i just need to figger out the thread size of the banjo bolt on the standard pipe. but cant do that untill saturday.

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Its here its fianlly here, it got here at about 4.00 today when they said it was out for delivery yesterday. But its here n I have loads of loom I dont really need but should have the bit I need aswell.

Also the spoiler looks ok, he said it was abit bent from removal so gota try n warm it up and get it back in shape before paint. N a little bit of filler here n there, im sure it will be fine.
