Custom pipe dream coolant crossover


Comments and questions welcome

 

Why? What is it/

 

It's all an hose and fittings, an fittings welded in the block and custom thermostat housing. The goal was to move the t-Stat to be more react ant to engine temp

 

So they've put the stat in the top hose? Not good........

 

Looks like it will foul the inlet manifold on the right too?

I dont see the point to be honest, the standard cross over isnt exactly in the way or offensive to look at?

 

A very expensive way to solve an issue that doesn't exist, plus you have not took the advantage to delete the balance breather port in the block to match your fitted heads, while rebuilding.

 

Wtf is this? It's pointless.

 

thats why its never been seen before

 

Wrong. As the stock crossover is known for leaking and the way the stick t-stat location is not as reactant to engine coolant temp. Glad to see there is haters!

 

dont take it to heart bud, people just having a wind up. my crossover did actually spring a leak and almost lunched the engine.

 

Of course they can leak, but preventative maintenance see's the leak and a new crossover pipe is only a few £, takes two hours to do, gives you the chance of renewing coolant and t-stat if you want.

What does this silly thing cost, pray tell?

 

Each to their own.

 

Only in America.

 

Braided hoses never leak lol

 

lol whats the point... they will try to bleed it next...

 

I notice the seller, (for I assume that's what he is, being as how his first ever post was this thing), hasn't responded to my query about price.

Come on, bud, how much are you/someone flogging this for?

 

Seems he's either unable to reply, or has taken the hump and gone

 

Total was $380 usd

 

Seems a little pointless to be honest, but why slate somebody because he does something different, that's what gives forums bad names.

I run an aftermarket thermostat with a reversed coolant crossover pipe as I am running my 2004 sti engine in the back of a Volkswagen beach buggy.

The stock location stat is very slow at reacting to changing engine temps but still works very well in a scoob but due to my radiator being some distance from the engine I opted for the external stat.

 

Errrrrrr, because his first post was a sneaky attempt to sell something no-one needs?

 

Is it a myth that silicone hoses permeate water over time?

 

Did I ever attempt to sell anything??? Was just sharing. I hope no one ever does this and yes I will be the only person to have it because I wanted to do it for myself as I like it. This will be my last post ever to scoobynet as I have learned this form is for trash talking. Thanks for all the hate!

 

Cheers buddy.
Nice knowing ya.
