TracTuff K Series RSX Billet Thermostat Cover
This version has a custom bent tube welded to the billet thermostat cover to mimic the factory RSX outlet angle.
The Billet Thermostat Cover bolts to the OEM plastic housing using the original shoulder bolts and the OEM thermostat and gasket from a K20A, K20A2, or K20Z1. I chose to design the cover to hold the original thermostat rather than a generic alternative because I felt it has been the main contributor to cooling system problems where the original cover was ditched.
You wont find any sensor ports on the cover because they don't belong here and you wont find a swivel feature because it doesn't work for everyone anyway.
NOTE: Made to Order - Contact for ETA - If you are interested in a specific design that varies from this, please email us at sales@tractuff.com. The billet thermostat cover does not include a thermostat. In order to run this product, you MUST use a 2002-2006 Acura RSX or 2002-2005 Civic Si (P/N: 19301-PNA-003) thermostat. I ONLY recommend Genuine Honda.
Multiple swaps may benefit from this configuration, however, my thermostat cover is slightly taller and you will need approximately 1.00" of additional space in front of your current OEM thermostat cover for this to fit. Customers that have ordered this standard hose configuration have shared that the OEM RSX lower hose has worked when the radiator outlet is in the same location as the RSX outlet.
However, if you are choosing the AN connection option... I strongly recommend that you either have a dual pass type radiator where the outlet has been moved to the end of the driver side tank or be prepared to move your current radiator outlet as far away as possible. The distance from the radiator outlet and the thermostat cover is VERY close and the factory rubber hose is short and twisted. I believe it is impossible to recreate this connection in -16 in such a tight space.
