forward facing t-stat housing hose options

[redws6rocket]

not the best picture, but that is mine. g van housing and hose, my tcm is mounted in the battery tray. factory tcm cover must be removed and drill holes and mount tcm to fan shroud is what we did on a friends. hose will set up on the fan shroud, we cut my shroud some to let the house set in it some.

Would you mind posting a picture?

Thanks

would it be better to make up a metal pipe & run a short piece of hose on each end? kinda like what the cummins have to run with dual cp3s

 

[MAXX IT OUT]

Can you flip the stock housing around, I want to do this with, but if its going to cost 100+ it isn't worth it for me.

Here is mine. Everything off a 06 van

05 chevy, does yours hit the oil fill tube also? Mines an lbz but I'd assume it would fit the same basically

Bump what did you do to make it clear the oil fill? Or is it still rubbing, but works?

Talked to PPE today, and they have just started selling a dual fueler belt that will clear their oil centrifuge. Its not listed on their website yet. I ordered one, assuming this will work great with dual pumps and the van thermostat housing/hose. You will have to retain a/c compressor or the delete pulley. Hoping this works for us, I will update after I get er done.

sub'd also

i havent ever really looked closely but when running the van housing, how do you feed the turbo coolant? or is that not directly tied into the t stat housing like im thinking?

 

[ikeG]

Not feeding coolant to turbo, aftermarket chargers on these app's.

There is a spot on the housing to hook up the hose.

Anybody ever have any luck with the lml housings bolting up to the older crossovers?

I thought I remembered reading the bolt pattern is different.

 

[x MadMAX DIESEL]

I just bought a van housing. I heard the bolt pattern was different too so went with what I knew would work. I do wish the van housing had a burp bolt, but not a huge deal

 

[ikeG]

If you run a van thermostat housing with dual pumps you will need a longer belt and route it differently so the belt clears the van housing. I used a Dayco belt that I bought from PPE; its the one they use when running dual pumps and their oil centrifuge. If I knew the part # ahead of time, I could of just got it from local parts store. PPE tells you to look at the pictures on their website for belt routing reference, but I fought with them today about it cuz their pictures do not have the belt routed the correct way.(with centrifuge and dual pump) Let me know if you need the info.

 

[x MadMAX DIESEL]

Are you sure about that? Seems like it would clear just fine

 

[ikeG]

With a PPE kit at least, the belt come from alternator straight across over the oil fill to the a/c clutch.

 

[kjp800]

I ordered the van housing as well, prices were real close so why risk it not lining up.

I had to reroute the belt too, found a Dayco through Grainger, although not sure if its the same as PPE has it, I played with the idlers some so the turbo could mount how I wanted it to off the front of the block

 

[ikeG]

PPE's belt is the dayco one. Its for a Chev Oddysey with a duramax. I can get the part number if anyone wants.

 

[rgullett83]

the lml has a different bolt pattern where it bolts to the crossover, the van housing works fine.

 

[moparkxracer]

They are different

They are different. I bought the lml one first then had to buy the one for a van.
