    Default 20V RWD Converson - Bottom Radiator Hose?

    Car - KE70 Wagon

    motor / part in question - ST20V

    problem - Cooling System RWD configuration, Bottom rad hose needs to be some kinda universal flexible radiator hose?

    occurs/started when (if applicable)- N/A

    personal situation (if applicable)- N/A

    Did a search, couldn't really find anything that was the same situation

    Where can I get some kinda universal flexible radiator hose?
    I went to Supertheif and they don't got jack, just a whole bunch a sh#t that i can't use.
    Anyone who has done a 20V RWD conversion with stock 20V water pump and a 16V RWD alt bracket, what
    bottom hose did you use and where can I get one?

    Could just get a 90 degree metal bend ad get another hose. Never had anything to do with a 20V though,

    Yeah, I figure that, but don't want the extra fail point in the join and extra clamps.
    I really just want a single hose if I can.

    Buy a good length of the flexible radiator hose and run it behind the engine mount. Then join with a piece of pipe and normal radiator hose to the bottom radiator outlet.

    You can secure it with zip ties i had to adjust it a few times as it was rubbing on the engine mount bracket but works a treat!

    I just prefer the stock hose + 1 joiner to a 90 degree bend. It shouldn't be failing so I don't have a problem with it

    most people use a thermostat housing as a joiner and a hose redirecter.
