missing heater hoses

[silva180sx1515]

my motor set didn't come with all the heater hoses. can i just get them at autozone or do i have to get the ht kit

[toledo240]

i dont think you can get them at autozone, i would just go through heavy throttle. oredered mine wth the tuneup kit and all there other custom things for the sr20, got it two days later.

[Hijacker]

you can make them if you know what your doing with heater hose piping. if you want ease of creation, go with a premade kit from HT

[silva180sx1515]

does it come with directions or is it self explanitory

I must me messed up because I had to custom trim and cut the hoses from Heavy Throttle. Now don't get me wrong it was worth it to get the kit because the hoses are mostly right and you get clamps and couplers and all.

Go to NAPA if you have one, they have all the hoses you could ever need. I had no heater hoses either and I got all my stuff from there. They have alot of the prebent stuff as well as adaptors to fit almost anything. Plus they're alot cheaper than HT

you didn't mess up. it was perfectly ok to trim some. I had to.If i had it to do again i would probably just go to napa and save some $$.

The HT EZ install kit is pretty convienent though. 89 bucks for the heater hoses, radiator hoses, belts, couplers and AIV plug.

But yeah its cheaper to get your own hoses.

[silva180sx1515]

i do have a napa near by but i still don't know what hoses to get, parts number anyone?

[Hijacker]

you're not going to need part numbers. you go in and say "i need to make heater hoses for my engine I'm installing in my car" then they sell you an assorted jumple of hoses and you get to cut and trim them to fit.

I may have the part #s at home. They are standard Gates hoses in the kit. I'll check later tonight, after I install my 300z vlsd

EDIT:Second thought. I like Jeff and Yury and would feel bad about posting part #s. Just buy the kit. Doesn't save you that much to do it yourself and they include everything.

[VitaminT]

Yeah I didn't mean to bash their kit. It is awsome. I got the heater and radiator hoses, aiv, clamps, couplers and belts...EVERYTHING you need. I had to trim the hoses for a perfect fit, but they are as close as you will get.

I highly recommend even if you have good belts and stuff just to have some spares.

You need an s shaped hose an l shaped hose and a u shaped hose I know.

on my sr20det my lower radiator hose was cut. so i was also wondering if anyone knows a part number. would i be able to use the ka lower radiator hose and just get it from nissan

[180fan]

the lower one I you can try to use the ka one since they look somewhat the same but I'd probably say get a new one for like 20-30 bucks so you won't have to replace the hose later and it'll fit like it should right off the bat.

[JT$240]

i want to buy a new one cause i already threw out all the ka parts i didn't think i'ld need. but where can i fin da new one? i don't want to be paying $120 for a set of samco hoses and when i only need the lower hose. so tell me where i can find a lower hose for the sr for 20-30 bucks cause i havne't been able to find one
