Pirtek can make up custome hoses

I had them make up some custom ones for my highflow

enzed?

get em to come to you (in mobile van) to measure up & fit what you are trying to do.

Easiest thing is to get a copper pipe cutting tool and cut the line that runs to the rear of the block off, and attached a new hose to the existing copper line.

Otherwise you basically have to take the engine out to get the existing banjo bolt out, and a new one in!

Pretty much everyone cuts them and attaches the new one to the old copper line about half way along. I just used EFI hose, some metallic coated heat shielding and 2 stainless hose clamps to connect the old line to the new line and it works a treat!

why dont you guys just remove that rear water line completely.

i did have it cut off with some hose pushed on to it, but i was never overly impressed with it as it didnt have a flair on the end of the steel tube, so i was allways concerned that it might blow off and then cook my motor.

when i changed to a high mount i had a look at where that hose went too. and it was suprisingly easy to remove entirely.

i allways thought it was near impossible to remove but took me less then 10 min.

simply undo the bolt into the back of the head, and then undo the hose clamp and pull it off. you can then run a brand new piece of high temp water line around the back and into the new turb with no fear of it ever leaking.

i know that sounds easy but it is tight, so a small 10mm spanner, and a long screw driver to get the clamp off, + a small pair of hands to help if you get stuck.
