My "1g head w/ 2g block" water pipe solution

[ryanx99GS]

Okay, I took the part of the 2g water pipe that connects to the water pump and hacked it off halfway. I then took the 1g water pipe facing the passenger side and hacked it off half way. Then took a thick radiator hose (brand new) and cut it to connect the pipes. Reinforced with 4 clamps. Also wrapped it in exhaust wrap.

Here is how it is set up down by the oil filter housing. See, now on the 1g water pipe you did not have the nipple facing down so you can connect the oil filter line to the water pipe. Problem solved.

Now:

- Red Circles: Connect (I am using 2 90 degree fittings and fuel line that will go over the intake tube and then down and then connect to the turbo)

- Purple Circles: Connect (I have a concept on how to do it, I will update on how to connect these tomorrow)

- Light Blue Circles: Connect (Pretty simple, use existing line or cut your own and connect them, that runs to your oil filter housing)

Just wanted to post and think what you other fellow DSMer's thought about this. I will be purchasing a water temp gauge to make sure it will be all good. Also this can be used for other people having the same problem I was having. "How the hell is this suppose to work"

Nice work...

buuuuutttt.... won't the zipties melt ?

Honestly, I don't know haha. I guess time will tell. The only problem really is trying to get the pink ends that I circled to connect. I think I have a way but do not know how effective it will be. The trouble is the tight space I have to work with and the damn intake tube. I will take pictures once I have them connected, should be done tomorrow.

fuel line iss ###### not the best to use...get coolant hose. autozone or oriellys will have it, otherwise good work.

 

[ryanx99GS]

Really? I thought fuel line is a lot stronger than coolant hose

 

[csgsx23]

I believe that it is quite strong but it is not as temperature compliant as radiator hose.

 

[ryanx99GS]

Alrighty, thanks for telling me that. I'll have my friend gank some coolant hose from Ranken tomorrow then

Looks like it is going into a white 99 gsx setting the background.
