hey all,
im looking into building a braided line coolant system from the rad to block, block back to the rad and then the smaller coolant lines required ie turbo, overflow tank etc

what im looking for is the sizes you guys use for the rad hoses and where to get the fittings from?

lets see some pics of these braided setups so post them up people.

thanks guys

ive been searching for ages and i want to get this sorted asap

most setups are using -16 size fittings, which allows 1" hoses, a bit smaller than stock but will work fine. you could step up to -20 (1.25" hose) if you wanted.

check this thread for discussion on sizes and also some pics of -16 fittings welded to the engine side

as for the turbo you need -6 fittings, there are numerous examples/pre fabbed kits for doing a radiator setup for that.

I got -16 coolant and -8 turbo feed


Its such a pain though. Not thrilled with it.

oh btw i aint doing this on a B-Series im doing this on a H22 in a prelude, the rad and intercooler setup sit in the front....... way in the front

just messing with all the braided lines and all the fittings being welded, and having cooling issues since the line is smaller. Daily driver I would say no. All out racecar.. go for it.

Im doing -16 when i do it i would save some money if i where u and just do -16

i dont want to reduce the size of the ID from what it is stock....... 28mm stock

hyabusa hunter

also is there an advantage to going this route?

other than reliability its not going to offer you anything.

I use -16 bc -20 was too big to work with, hose ends and bend radius. -16 is a little smaller than stock but it gets the job done.

for the cost i dont really see the point, nothing wrong with oem radiator hoses. sure does look nice though

hyabusa hunter
