Hyundai water neck a fit for the G54B?


Recommended Posts

I did some brief internet research and noted that the hyundai 2.0 engine from the 90's uses the same thermostat and water neck gasket as the starquest. Has anyone tried running one of these before?

 

Part number: 85235 Four Seasons

the threaded top hole would have to be used for the Turbo return.

 

Its actually the supply F.Y.I.

 

Has been debated in another thread to be the return do to the fact it is so hot . It is actually so hot do to heat soak from the center section to the the metal lines.

How useless or useful would it be to run a tiny cooler from that thermostat housing to the turbo coolant feed? Basically something to cool off a bit that hot coolant from the thermostat.

It would be sweet to pull heat of the turbo if it was an OEM metal line with heat vents it would work. It would be cooling the turbo more than the incoming coolant. The problem is heat soak to the point that the coolant flow is not pulling the heat away. The stock metal line becomes searing hot even though it the incoming fluid the turbo has already cooked the heck out of it.

 

Something like this

But then you are just making a heat sink out of the inlet side of the turbo and kinda bypassing the cooling system design. Replacing the banjos with AN adaptors and fittings will cure the heat soak issue and let the heat be carried away by the coolant as is was made to do.

 

 

Not really necessary. The turbo can run hotter than the coolant being fed into it.

 

Except for when the turbo preheats the incoming fluid in a foot long super heat soaked metal pipe.

Question, so the water necks came in two forms 88/89 and 87back. Which one are you comparing to? Cool research and thanks btw.

 

Regarding heat soaked pipes. What about just running regular rubber heater hose all the way from the water neck to turbo. That's how I did it due to rusted pipe.

 

Lastly, wouldn't running the heat sink cooler things be a good idea in the case of people like me who run fan shrouds? This way there's no heat soak as there's always air moving over it. Unless that's a no no since Its hot air off the radiator anyways. Can't win.
