Are you one of those confused people who can't make up their mind?

looking for upper coolant hose.

Post by shermer-high »

I also posted this on Samba I'm looking for an upper coolant hose for my Subaru conversion using the non reversed manifold. Because of the current climate I can't go in back at the parts store to look at hoses. Something like this at 4.20 in the video.

That looks flex or corrugated stainless tubing.

Home Depot sells I thing the 1” size.

But you should be able to call around and find an 1.25” size.

I'm looking for the upper water outlet molded hose that goes back towards the transmission on the side of the fuel rail.

Here's another link for the Gates molded coolant hose book in PDF. If you go down to the pictures with dimensions, 1.5 hose ID the hose shown in the video looks most like PN 23097 (page 105). Not too many with 1.5" ID have the 180 degree bend on the end that look like the hose in the video - you may have to trim sections of the hose off to get what you can use.

I’ve found that dayco flexible hoses with a 90 degree bend on them work great and are cheap!

Part numbers are 81490, 81491, 81492. The sizes are not in order, so make sure you check them out beforehand.

I found an upper hose at Napa and a lower that should work I'll post part numbers when I make sure everything is connected. I just need one more hose for the radiator and figure out a fill-expansion tank and hoses for that then I can start metal tubing.
