I am getting my wiring harness back today from Mckinney Motorsports. I am going to try to install my side mount this weekend. So I have a few things left and could use your help.

1. I am using the stock S13 Radiator, so the bottom 1.75inch hose does not connect to the 1.75inch connection on the RB.

2. I need an adapter to fit a cone filter on the RB's MAF.

Before I spend all day convincing the Autozone guys to let me dig through there hoses, I figured I would ask.

Thanks guys.

MY S13 KA24E HOSE FIT OVER THE RB OUTLET WITH ALITTLE CONVINCING. BUT IT WORKS.

I THINK THE Z32 IS THE SAME BUT I COULD BE WRONG.

cool, have you had any issues with it. I am just a little leary of possible hose failure if I stretch it on there, but that is probably what I am going to try. What did you do for an Intake? Thanks for your help.

You can use a 240sx MAF adapter, just angle it a little and it will only work with 2 bolts. But this works perfectly.

Check out my rb20det in progress:

THATS WHAT I HAVE RIGHT NOW. THE PERSON I BOUGHT IT FROM SAID IT WAS FOR A RB20 BUT IT WAS JUST A KA ONE. IT WORKS BUT NOT PERFECTLY.

are you using the RB25 or RB20. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I tried this weekend, and I am going to have to use a different radiator hose.

Also, thanks for your advice about the intercooler, which I should have used, but didn't . I went ahead and installed the stock intercooler this weekend, and it must have taken me 6 hours! O well, at least it's done.

I greased the hose, and I still can't get it on there. I am going to try an adapter.
