  • In this video, I outline how I was able to solve the infamous first Gen K-series Swivel Neck thermostat housing. overheating or Over cooling issues. I found that the 1994 to 2001 integra type R utilizes the same style of "Stand thermostat " that the K-series Swivel Neck thermostat housing uses. By just simply swapping them along with gaskets. Optional if you want to drill extra holes to open the thermostat quicker depending on your application use. This easy and inexpensive upgrade saves you money from having to buy the other K-series Swivel Neck thermostat housing upgrades in the market. I hope it was helpful and informative.
    The oem integra type r thermostat gasket "WILL NOT" fit the K-series Swivel Neck thermostat housing, to bulky. try this one, or reuse the old one from the K-series housing of the old stant thermostat.

    Disclaimer: A lot of this aftermarket's first-generation Swivel Neck thermostat housing are well know for leaking make sure to properly check and discard faulty seals and use Teflon tape for the plug threads.

      That's exactly what I was going to do at first. But I starter to research different types of "stand thermostat " designs, like the old v1 utilizes and figure it out.

      I had to re use the old one since Integra one is to bulky to fit in the K-series Swivel thermostat housing. Let me see if I could research it and I will update you.
