BYPASS THERMOSTAT UPGRADE (PREVIOUSLY $28 upgrade)

[TRS]

You can plumb the front bulkhead cooler and utilize its capacity mainly for warm up. When the thermo is closed it will pass all coolant to the bulkhead cooler. The end of the BRP thermo would go directly to the bulkhead cooler, hose #17 on the schematic, instead of the T as on the PRO. You will still need to plug the port in the head designated for the bypass.

To Keep it simple- for us Pro 800 owners-what seems like to be the most simple?
Looks like the doo hookup in the first post.or the one from Most wanted- but i donm't like the plastic housing either.

Well, I have been thinking and I thought of the Honda ATC 200s Camshaft Washer and I thought it was 34MM OD. I don't have one but, I think it was around 1MM but wasn't sure on the ID. What if the washer was say 25mm or so ID......... would that make much of a difference??????

I highly doubt anyone has one to measure, but thought I would throw that out there.


WASHER, THRUST (34MM)
90451-383-000
Around $5.50 ea.

P.S. I am going to try and get one to measure and possible source for all the folks that want to build their own kit.

 

[pindallout]

Disregard. Remembered the number but, it was 34 MM ID.......... and 44MM Outside.

Has anyone done this to a Silber turbo setup with the coolant hose on the opposite side? I know plumbing would be the same just curious how it all fits?

 

[likkerpig]

Bumping this back up, curious about anyone running this with a turbo... And plumbing pics please!

Curious about the Most Wanted kit as well. A few of the things on their site don't add up...

"Field tests revealed we were able to maintain a constant engine temperature of between 140 and 150 degrees. Allowing the motor to perform at its true horsepower all day long, regardless of the conditions."

140-150?!?!?! Wow. That's far higher than I've ever experienced.

I'm into doing this but am a bit tentative about piecing together my own kit and plumbing it in. Hence why I just wanted to buy their kit and drop it in but I'm not so sure it's going to fix much of anything...

Here is another one, very similar to terra alps racing.

Anyone done this on a Silber turbo application?

Silber turns the oem thermostat 180 degrees facing the clutches. And routes the hoose next to the oil tank and down to the cooler.

Feels like its good space near the head/by the primary clutch to place the bypass thermostat, then run a longer hoose that goes to the intake T coupling.

Found an awesome paint picture describing it.

What you experts think about this. Plausible?

LoudHandle you want to setup a kit for me?

 

[likkerpig]

Interested in how this would be plumbed as mtntk turbo kit does almost the exact same thing. Feels like we're missing a hose in your drawing though from the bypass tstat to the coolant return line off the bottle. Or wherever it goes...

Nice find Biltit. Going to call on this tomorrow. Tried about a dozen or more phone calls, several emails, before I finally got a call back from Terra Alps. Asked for an address, as I was to be in his city this past weekend. Needed his addy as he no longer has a shop and is manufacturing/selling from his home.
No biggie, I do that myself. But if you can't be bothered to put the TINIEST bit of effort into it, well, I'm not going to beg someone to let me spend money with you..

 

[BILTIT]

Ya I have heard bad things about him.

I ordered a powder freaks tstat last week so I should have it shortly.

 

[G-Force]

Was it something they had in stock? Or they have to build em as they go?

 

[BILTIT]

Not sure, I just ordered it online.

Just ordered mine! Thanks for the link!

 

[wellfed777]

just a heads up for the silber turbo people there's a thread in the turbo section and i think there will be pics of an install soon

 

[BILTIT]

My powder freaks tstat showed up. I will have to compare to the terra alps and see if they are the same.

 

[CatAttack]

Just got my thermo stat from powder freaks as well. Can't wait to try it.
Biltit are you putting thermo stat on a turbo pro?
