ENGINE COOLING – Thermostat14-4
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
ATHERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
(1) Install the thermostat so that the jiggle valve is facing
straight up.
Caution
Make absolutely sure that no oil is adhering to the
rubber ring of the thermostat. If the rubber ring is
damaged, replace the thermostat.
(2) When assembling the thermostat, be careful not to fold
over or scratch the rubber ring.
BRADIATOR LOWER HOSE CONNECTION
(1) Insert each hose as far as the projection of the water
inlet fitting.
(2) Align the mating marks on the radiator hose and hose
clamp, and then connect the radiator hose.
INSPECTION
THERMOSTAT CHECK
(1) Immerse the thermostat in water, and heat the water while
stirring. Check the thermostat valve opening temperature.
Standard value: 76.5 ± 1.5
C
(2) Check that the amount of valve lift is at the standard
value when the water is at the full-opening temperature.
Standard value:
Full-opening temperature: 90
C
Amount of valve lift: 8.5 mm or more
NOTE
Measure the valve height when the thermostat is fully
closed, calculate the valve lift by subtracting this
measurement from the valve height when the thermostat
is fully open.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
1. TURBOCHARGER BOOST PRESSURE
CHECK
Caution
Carry out driving tests in a location where full-throttle
acceleration is possible with utmost safety. Two persons
should be in the vehicle during the test, the assistant
in the front passenger seat reading the pressure gauge.
(1) Disconnect the hose (black) from the boost pressure
control solenoid valve and fit the pressure gauge to this
hose.
After the hose (black) has been disconnected, fit a blank
plug to the solenoid valve nipple.
(2) Drive at full-throttle acceleration in second gear and
measure the boost pressure when the engine speed
exceeds about 3,000 r/min.
Standard value:
53 – 87 kPa {0.54 – 0.89 kg/cm
2} <EVOLUTION-IV>
59 – 84 kPa {0.61 – 0.86 kg/cm2} <EVOLUTION-V>

3. WASTEGATE ACTUATOR CHECK
(1) Connect a hand pump (pressure type) to the nipple.
(2) Gradually increase the pressure being applied to check
for the pressure at which the wastegate actuator rod starts
moving (approx. 1 mm stroke).
Standard value: Approx. 100 kPa {1.02 kg/cm
2}
Caution
Do not apply a pressure more than 120 kPa {1.23
kg/cm

damaged.
(3) If the pressure drastically deviates from the standard
value, check the actuator or wastegate valve and, if
necessary, replace the actuator or turbocharger assembly.
4. WASTEGATE SOLENOID VALVE CHECK
4-1 OPERATION CHECK
(1) Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple A of the solenoid
valve.
