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 .

      Oh you'll be surprised how much the motor breathes when it sees nearly 2 bar of boost. That will definitely pop, but for now, more than happy with 99.99% of the crank case fumes and engine shit going back into the intake.

      You'll likely find, you never really get pressure to pop that valve.  If you are getting "pressure" it's going out the unrestricted hole before it hangs around to build up and pop the rubber flap. IE, it's headed for the intake pipe. In reality, if we did it right, your "vent" would actually go to a PCB valve at the inlet, and you'd still have the two the intake pipe too. When in vacuum, motor sucks it in, when on boost, PCB shut, and you will be getting enough air flow past (if they've put the catchcan pipe on the inlet in a good spot, at the right angle) which will create suction. Current setup in reality, you're just forcing it to the intake pipe.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By jdniss · Posted

      Slightly off topic - I've just wired oil pressure sensor into my LinkECU as well - I tapped into the existing dash cluster oil pressure light wiring, and fed that back into an Auxiliary output in the ECU. That now lets me control the original dash oil pressure light based on a range of conditions triggered by the LinkECU - means the factory light isn't entirely redundant now that the factory oil pressure switch is no longer installed.

      [Fuel pump] Is upgraded bulk head connectors or relay mod needed for fuel pump upgrade?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Hasn't risen high enough on the to do this yet for it to be done lol.  One day it will be done... one day... I know, but I tell myself its ok because I took a heap of temp measurements of the terminals over a 12 or so hour drive, temps were never an issue. Plus I made sure to pat the bulk head and say "she'll be right". So, yep she'll be right lol.
