did you just get universal hoses or did you get pre-formed hoses?

Best pics I can find:Before:

After:

You would still need to get two hose step pieces that would have 5/8 on one side and 3/4 on the other.

huh... that doesn't look like it would work. so there needs to be a u bend that make it flip around the other way to reach right? could i just cut the metal tube? and make it work that way? seems like people should have been doing that from the get go. where the metal tube make a 90 degree turn, cut it so its straight and use a tube that almost goes straight into the heater outlet?thanks guys

Turbo coolent return goes into that metal line - you would have to modify that unless you run S14 coolent return to water neck.

If you dont need coolant to the turbo then your best but would be to cut it. The only reason not to cut the metal line is because the smaller line that comes off it for the turbo coolant feed

Can some one help me please. Those pictures are confusing me, there is hoses missing and changed around in the AFTER pic. I'm about to pull my motor in the next couple days and figured this would help. Please can some one help the slow one or are those pictures wrong?

Does it matter what kind of SR motor it is?(s13 red & black, S14 black, S15 black) I can show you some pics of the way I hooked them up but I have a S14 with S15 motor. I dont know if its the same as S13's.....

Well this is how I hooked them up for my setup. I used my stock s14 hoses with a little modification(shortened the hoses). Hope this helps.
