A Quick Reply Please! Internal Size Of The Bottom Radiator Hose?!?!

[GreeceS13]

Can you tell me exactly the internal size of the bottom radiator hose?

I don't know what water temp adapter to buy...

30? 34? 38mm?

[ZENNON]

what engine? lol

[GreeceS13]

Sorry

rb26dett

Also the up and the down hoses have the same internal diameters?

[ZENNON]

ask this guy maybe

I need fast reply mate

I must buy it now

[Wheezy]

Why would you want to know the temp of water going into the engine?

Are you running a comparison of water temp in and out?

I'm not criticising, just intrigued!!!!

[GreeceS13]

I want to put the rb at 200sx and I will use 2 electric 12" fans! And I will open them with water temp controller!

[ZENNON]

i dont know - otherwise i would have answered you

while trying to google it for you i found above link and thought he might know...

ps. im sure non little babies will die if you dont buy it today

pps. why not take your pipe of and measure it?

[GreeceS13]

Because I still don't have neither engine neither nothing

I am waiting the shipment for all and I want to buy parts before the engine (complete swap for my s13) comes to Greece because in one month I want to run in a drag race :)

If someone know help me please

IIRC S13 radiators are interchangable with R32 radiators therefore I would say you will be safe with a standard RB26 radiator hose

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

[Wheezy]

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)

I presumed he was changing everything.. *shrugs*

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 .
