#137439, "Turbo Rad in NT"


          

I'm assuming there's a few NT guys running with an aftermarket 2g turbo rad. 'Course, the challange is which hoses to use. I'm guessing some guys have gone with those universal accordian style stainless hoses and persuaded them to work. My question is: what are the approx lengths I would be looking at? From a dry mockup I've done it looks like about 18" for the upper and 36" for the lower. Does that sound right? I ask because I don't have an NT engine bay in front of me here and I'm going from memory as to where the hoses terminate at the engine. Thanks in advance.

Not sure what the 4g63 radiator hoses look like but if you look at the CAPS above ^^^ it will give you an idea of the 420a.

i used a turbo radiator for like a week but didnt like the location of the top hose. It faces right at our exhaust manifold so it needs a 90 degree bend on it at the top and the bottom needed a U-bend. In all I used the stock 420a hoses with a pair of 4g63 hoses. If you were to use a Turbo Rad. i'd recommend using the neon or 2.4l lower water pipe since it will allow you to use less tubing and will keep the coolant lines away from the downpipe.
