Check My Math - Rb26 Heater Hose's

[Butters]

ok

re-designed the heater hose system on my rb26.

Not keen on running the turbo coolant line around the back of the head. Personal preference.

This is what I came up with.

Will it work ?

See any problems ?

Any suggestions ?

Can post up what it looked like orginally later tonight but keen to hear from guru's that already know the rb26 heater / water system.

Also please excuse the shitty paintshop pic .... drawing not my thing.

[Butters]

lol, I saw your name on the reply and was oh heck .... here we go.

if it aint broke dont fix it

Translation -> "its too hard"

[Wheezy]

Get some heat wrap around the hose and/or change to braided or copper lines

Your diagram is a little too ghetto for me to even understand

Is it birds eye view? I spent a fair amount of time thinking about lines and what not, but still cant figure out your drawing, sorry man.

Butters Scotch?

[Butters]

lol ghetto and I was going for more a punk style.

Its a birds eye view from the underneath which probably doesn't help things.

The right hand side is the front off the motor, the left the rear obvious.

The top section is the plenum side, underneath mostly or if the plenum wasn't there.

One thing to note the AAC / cold start valve has been removed from this system,. might be why it looks so foreign.

that drawing is too hard to understand

[Butters]

I'll take a pic of the setup tonight. I bet that confuses you more though.

[Butters]

ok this is the mock up pic

Be impressed if that makes sense to someone.

Why do i think I will regret this post for days to come ....

[GeeTR]

Good Christ, your missing the ACC and distribution block thingo. I think i know what your doing though.

Ill have to go home and look at my setup, then report back tonight if i get some time.

[R31Nismoid]

Hrm why does that look horrdily messy?

Maybe we need to go from another angle.

What are you trying to achieve?

And what is the reason behind your changes?

[Butters]

How is it I post a thread asking for help and end up just giving information away without anything back ???

Yes its messy, it is a mock up

Good Christ, your missing the ACC and distribution block thingo.

Yep I took it off

I think I give up with the help, cheers anyhow.

Can the mods delete or lock this thread ???? or can I do it ??

butters your drawing is quite easy to follow mate...if you know what your looking at and talking about.

the feed off the block (front and rear) can be ran under the engine and up to the heater core...the only problem i can see is the right angle bend through the firewall. As for the coolant feed around the back of engine, just block it off tee feeds together and run to the front.

I thought so but I drew it so made sense to me ... lol

Thats a good idea, Hadn't thought about that. Was stuck in the follow stock mode there.

That will make it a lot easier, cheers for that.

You must be good, knowing the picture was with the motor upside down haha
