VR6 / V5 / R32 thermostat housing

Recommended Posts

Hi guys

 

I'm running an O2M gearbox on my VR6T, it's not ideal with the standard 12v VR6 thermostat housing in that one of the hoses rubs on the shifter.

 

I've got an R32 thermostat housing but it only has two sensor outlets - I need three, blue, yellow and brown. I've also got a thermostat housing from an early V5, it's similar to the R32 one but has three sensor outlets.

The issue I have with the V5 housing is the size of the top hose outlet. It is ~32mm compared to the R32 one which is ~38mm. Furthermore, the actual thermostat itself is smaller, similar in size to those found in 4 cylinder engines.

Is this likely to cause me issues?
