I will mock one up tomorrow and post it. How long is the stock CLT sensor? How much can it stick into the inside hole?
Stephanie Here's the 1.6 sensor: http://www.finishlineperformance.com.../857418840.jpg And the 1.8 NA sensor: http://www.finishlineperformance.com...93-18-840A.jpg

If the 1.6 fan sensor is on the front of the head...will it ever get hot enough to come on? (210*?)
You could always put it in a pipe section placed in series with the upper radiator hose.

3/8" thick steel is enough to seal a 1" NPT fitting. 3/8" is plenty for what we're doing.
But without the drawing of a penis. |

On a flat plane, no question. I was worried about a tapered thread going into a convex surface. Still, that spacer does look pretty thick. You're probably right. Just make sure you don't bottom the tap while threading the hole, use some teflon tape and it'd probably be fine. EDIT: BTW I do understand what you're saying about the surface being convex. But it's not enough to matter. Only takes 1 thread around the perimeter to seal the fitting. |

it's 16.5" long. My question is, where does one find a Kia water neck? I was going to use a allen-head cap to fill the hole, that's my broken thermoswitch in the picture. |

I know that. I was leaning towards, like, where exactly could one pick one up? |

Or eBay. Or a junkyard. Or you could wait for Rican Racer to buy a Sephia, and then steal his. |

I think I'll be fine with my housing...we'll see.

Got mine from the local U pull it. They usually have quite a few dead Sephias.

I can go look at our local junk heap too. I have two local yards that let me walk around and have quite a few cars.
Scott, if you can't find a Kia neck get the machine shop that fixed your head to cut that nipple off and weld it up. |
I just realized the begi spacer with the pipe can just be flipped around to point to the exhaust side and still bolt up.
So all it needs is a bung for the coolant sensor and ur done. |

When sourcing the neck from the sephia are we also looking for the front one?
|
I have a 1.6L piece on the way to me right now, but would much rather deal with the Kia piece. So if anyone finds one at their local yard, I'd like one.
But if I get a chance, I'll run up to the local pull-a-part and see if they have any too. |

So all it needs is a bung for the coolant sensor and ur done. The welded pipe needs to go away. Just turn the spacer on a lathe to accommodate a thermostat on the firewall-side, drill a few holes in the spacer, tap them, and screw in the appropriate fittings and sensor. No welding, no fuss, no muss. Steph, I have a question for you. In the second-to-last picture that Braineack posted in that long series of his, there's a pipe that runs front to back to carry coolant from the rear outlet to the radiator inlet. The pipe is of a uniform diameter, and smooth. On your website, there are several pictures depicting a similar pipe, however it has mounting tabs to secure it to the intake manifold and is of a slightly smaller diameter along most of its length, with welded adapters on the end to mate with the radiator hose. I've attached pictures: http://www.bellengineering.net/image...e/PA032369.JPG http://www.bellengineering.net/image...e/PA032371.JPG http://www.bellengineering.net/image...e/PA032372.JPG I like this design a lot. The pictures appear to be from a 1.8 engine, have you done this for the 1.6 as well? |
