vr4 thermostat housing same as 1g dsm?

[trunks]

Can anyone confirm or deny this? I found one post that said it would work but I want to make sure it has spots for all 3 sensors on it and I cannot tell from pitures on vendors sites. Thanks!

the turbo Tstat will work, however, you will need a 1g radiator as well.

I think he's talking lower housing. Sorry I'm not sure on the lower or I would have chimed in on verification. On the upper does it not just lack the a/c sensor port & add a rad cap? if you don't mind two caps you don't need to change the rad.

Yeah - the lower part that bolts onto the head. I've got one out in the garage which doesn't have the extra port on the back, but I'm not sure where it came from.

My understanding is that the GVR4 lower housing has one extra AC sensor which faces the firewall. Pic here, #4 in the drawing:

Okay cool. I hope Mitsu still sells them. JB weld isn't holding and I'm not sure exactly where the crack even is.

Thanks for the help.

It seems I just ordered "the last one on the planet". This only fuels my paranoia about finding parts for this thing down the road. I'm going to end up on a tlc show for hoarding car parts..

 

You worry too much. There are tons of parts for these cars you just have to look.
I was going to send you my thermostat housing for free. Unfortunately i waited till this morning only to find out you have one already. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

these are EASY to find

there are likely literally millions of 6g galants out there that probably have this piece on them

 

Good to know. I need to figure out what else has these little idiosyncrasies. #488 came without and engine or trans. I picked up a 1g engine with all the brackets and accessories and have learned the front motor mount bracket and NOW the T-stat housing is different. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif Anyone got anything else to point out?

The a/c compressor is different, in case you were wondering /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Quoting SouthCaliVR4:

The outlet on the upper housing on a 1g is angled differently than a GVR4, and 2g dsm tstat upper housing is just the same but even differs from a 1g.

I believe the a/c belt tensioner is different as well.
