Lets see how everyone is doing there lines.

 

Do you mean what materials used, or how they are hooked up?

 

I saw B&R kit. I realy dont want to weld to radiator so I want to see what are other options. I'm buying their feed fitting that goes from the block. Just looking to see what are people using for drain.

 

I think jesse from AFI came out with some fittings for the feed and drain.

 

I run B&R's kit, Tee'd off the line to the T-body area and returned to a bung on the radiator. I will be buying his block adaptor to pull coolant from the block and I will be ditching the Tee this year.

 

i did the afi front block fitting w/-6an to the turbo -6 90 into,then -6 90 out the turbo to a -6bung welded to the bottom endtank of the radiator.

 

I was trying to avoid taking the radiator out to get it welded.

 

Yea I hear you on that, but it is sooo much cleaner that way and the return line is very short. I can pull my radiator out in 5 min how hard can it be? The weld itself should be rather cheap, especially if you drill the hole and prep it yourself.

 

What brand radiator do you have? You can also just screw in a fitting to the drain of the radiator if you don't want to weld a fitting onto the radiator. Like this:

 

^ i didnt think of that and i have a pwr but i drilled the hole and prepped it all myself and took it to a local welder and he charged me 20 to weld it.im glad i did it this way line is short out of the way and clean looking.ill take some pics of mine tomorrow all done.
i would def get the br fittings block plug because theres is easier to get something on to tighten it.i used the afi one and they make the wrench flats as big as the threads and i had a hell of a time tighten it with the manifold on and i had to use a wrench because of the block webbing wont allow a socket to get in there.

 

aah where the petcock is, do you happen to know off memory the thread pitch of that?

 

ok if i draw coolant from the t body can i also drain it back on the other fitting... or just draw it from the iacv and drain it back in to the manifold fitting... Would it be enough circulation..

 

The PWR is a 12mm x 1.5 fitting.

 

Thats cool. I ordered the block fitting from B&R. I have Koyo radiator. Do u know whats the fitting size.

 

for those of you tapping the radiator...how are you making sure that metal shavings dont get stuck in the radiator?

my egay radiator drain has an 10mm x 1.0 fitting, tough size to find

 

Anyone with Koyo radiator that has drain **** pitch?

 

what about mishimoto rads? anyone know the pitch thread for that? thanks

 

The mishimoto should be 12mm x 1.5

I'm not sure about the koyo. The Fluidyne is 1/4npt. Hope this helps some people.

 

I have 2 M10x1.0 to AN -6's on my Inline 255hp, pretty sure I got them from ANplumbing.com

IIRC they are under the specialty fittings, I think they were designed for a Carburetor.

 

^^^found em. part# 991953. anplumbing should have been the first place i looked. thanks

anyone with tips on safely tapping the radiator?

 

I still cant find the pitch on Koyo radiator.

 

just pull the plug and measure it. then post the results here in case anyone goes looking for it.....or call koyo

 

Koyo is 10mm x 1.25

 

So I was told the oem civic rad size is 14x2 (info not from honda) anyone know from experience? doesn't hurt double check

 

i just run mine inline with the coolant lines going to the IACV......
