Just wondering who is running an r33 thermostat in their r34's?

My mate works at supercheap and on the shelf are r33 thermostats but r34 ones must be ordered in

i looked through the tridon book and the only difference i can see is the opening temp being 72 (r33) instead of 76 ( think)

all the other dimensions seem the same

Shelf price is $41 for the r33 unit, book price is $46 for the r34 + freight

If he buys it for me we will get 25% off too so will be about $31

Hay or Nay?

as long as it will actually fit in then there is no problem. i'm not sure on whether there is a physical difference in them though. the cooler opening temp may play around a little bit with the ecu though (very minor difference) so you may see a slight increase in fuel economy (if you do it will be barely noticable).

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
