fwd 4agze into rwd setup thermostat help

[D0DGEE]

hey i got a 4agze motor in my ke30 and dont have thermostat or housing what do u do to get one to fit apart from getting a rwd waterpump housing setup some one said another 4age got a remote thermostat housing this true was told to sort this out next time i tuned car as the engine temp sits low when driving therefore prob running alittle rich im guessing.

grab a fwd thermostat housing and mount it remotely, just need to run the lines to and from it etc - is a bit more messy depending on how you do it.

otherwise to run the genuine rwd setup you'll need the rwd waterpump housing, you can use either fwd or rwd waterpump (just needs to match waterpump pulley), the rwd outlet for the head which has the bypass pipe, and a rwd alternator mount (the fwd mount sits the alternator too high and blocks the waterline)

the ae92 remote thermostat is a better fit than the ae82 ones in this application. (i chopped/angled the bypass pipe in above pic). some ae10# have the same as ae92 also. just flip the outlet part so the water temp sensor faces outwards.
