[skwertle]

Sup yall,

I was wondering if anybody had pictures of how they ran there heater hoses in there rb25det installs or if you can somehow describe it to me.

Pictures of any other lines/hoses that i will have to connect will be a big plus too.

Thanks

If I remember correctly i used the RB heater hoses and they fit?

look under members rides section for my pictures. That may help you see how the hoses ran. I had a problem with my upper and lower radiator hoses, and had to spend a couple of hours in Autozone digging through everything they had to find some that would fit right (after mild trimming).

my hoses were on the rb were cut. I was wondering if there was a place were i could get like elbows. i don't even know if they make heater hose elbows.

my heater hose on the RB is smaller than the heater hoses on my S14. I had to run a reducer to get them to fit. It's odd that the S14 with the KA would have larger heater hoses than an RB.

from what you said, i'm guessing you just bent the s14(ka) hoses into the rb and there were no kinks?

just go get the same diameter hose form autozone and run them yourself, you dont need prebent ****.

If you don't care like I didn't I found a heater hose at autozone that was bent 180*. I just stuck it into the engine block and bypassed the whole in-cab heater pipes.

I figured, I don't have the PS or the AC already, screw the heater also.

It's cool to be hardcore and all, but leaving the heater out of the loop could be a big mistake. The heater is a good safety net if your car was to start overheating.

I know and thanks rbsileighty. I had to do that a few times with my KA.
