he wants to know the internal size of the hose......

Hence take ID of S13 hose and vola!!!!! The hose doesnt change ID until it gets to the flange for the thermostat.

However if it was an SR S13 its a different story (hoses are in different places IIRC to CA / RB). But he didnt say.

EDIT: Im persuming CA because he didnt mention that he is changing radiators)

Just for the record I tried switching elec fans from the radiators outlet on my daily (dinosaur Subaru L RX-T) and it doesn't work very well . I thought that sensing the radaitors outlet temperature would work but all it really did was ensure that ALL the water in the cooling system got hot .

I changed over to sensing the engines water outlet temperature at the top hose and it works much better . The reason being that the fans get going as soon as the outlet temp is a little above normal and the radiator has the best chance of having a reserve of cool water for the engine should the thermostat decide to open - or open further .

Your call but I'd rather have the thermostat doing the temperature regulation than the fan relays temp switching device .

While I'm here people like to argue that fans running longer or even permanently make an engine run too cool . The way I see it its no different to running around in 10 deg conditions , the std thermostat will still keep the engine temperature adequate if everythings running properly .

Cheers A .

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.

      If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
