I'll confirm/deny this with actual Suzuki part number now that I've found a site I can get them from .
I'll get the right stant thermostat and replace what I have as I now question the car quest one I have now. I'll test it with hot water before installing. I know how to install it oriented properly.
I'll make an attempt at finding Aerio radiator size to see how much different it is in size from the V6 Vitara one I have now.
As for testing the coolant tube. I'll ask questions if I need to get that far.
Dimensions.
Aerio. 13.75 x 28.25 x 1. 388 cu in
Sport. 16.75 x 19 x 1. 318 cu in
Diff 70 cu in
These are outside diameter not actual volumes but yes the sport radiator is smaller by about 20 percent. Of course these are VERY rough estimates.
I also guess I should find out the cfm rating of Aerio stock fan too.
There is room to have a thicker aluminum radiator made to Sport dimensions but I hope it doesn't come to that.
what about a v6 grand vitara , I wonder what size it is.? H x L.
here is hoping a better , thermostat helps.....! cheers !
OK I went on Suzukicarparts.com looking at details This site lists SAME part for Aerio (j23) vs Sport (J18)
Rock-Auto also lists the SAME Thermosta
Suzuki Car Parts
1767065D00 - THERMOSTAT Aerio
1767065D00 - THERMOSTAT Sidekick Sport
Rock Auto
STANT 14378 {#1767065D00}
STANT 14378 {#1767065D00}
Stant Website lists for 2005 Aerio (this is my year motor) 14378 . Same as Sidekick Sport.
So I will order a Stant 14378. I took Car Quest's word for the thermostat that they gave me.
It DID fit but does it work the same?? I have no ideal.
I'll get a Stant, put it in and retry my tests.
The Denso 221-4801 Radiator that I have is a V6 Grand Vitara radiator.
