So far I have gotten my rb20 into my s13replaced all belts, spark plugs, pump, etc.basically the works for a running rb20 besides the wiring and a few hoses here and there that I havent connected yet.

I was wondering if you guys knew where these hoses would go on the rb20, cuz I just want to be 100% sure I am not crossing any hoses









Any help is appreciated, thanks guys!

First Picture: The small square red box on the intake manifold I believe is for boost line. The other Im not sure but might just be a vacuum line.

Second Picture: They go to your heater core. These are your coolant line which keep your car warm for heat. Connect them to picture 3. (Far left goes to top core. Far right goes to bottom core.)

Third Picture: Your heater core. Connect them to picture 2. Also that small nipple you see on your fuel rail is your factory FPR (fuel pressure regulator). Connect that to a vacuum line. From what I remember the stock rb20 has a **** load of these lines.

Last Picture: Man I dont even know what that is lol. Hard to really see.

The last picture looks like the brake booster line, if so it needs to connect to the big brake booster unit next to your master cylinder.

edit: Yeah, that has to be the brake booster line. Connect it to the brake booster, the line connects to the left of the brake cylinder which is to the left of the master cylinder.

First picture: the left one is for a boost gauge if you want one...the second red box on the first picture is your coolant bleeder - you WILL need to block that off otherwise coolant will come running out....

Use your head. Make it work if you have to. If you talking about connecting the heater core to the motor then just go to a auto parts store and get a coolant hose for that size. Cut the desire length and done.

The boost nipple you do not have to block (very very tiny and thin one)

the bigger one on the hose, you will have to...

No disrespect to Ace here but you do need to block off the small nipple on the back of the intake manifold if you are not running a boost gauge. Ace, if you are not blocking yours off, I would suggest you do so.

You are going to need to get a lighter picture thats bigger. Can hardly see anything. From the first picture it looks like it comes from the your charcoal canister which connects to the lines near your fuel lines.

Edit: Never mind. But for those who didn't know now you do.
