Hey i have a 99 EK Hatch with a JDM K20A fully built with a Full-Race GT35R setup puttingdown 550whp on 14psi with an Evans tune. I have had the swap in my car since 2005 and ii've just recently started to look around and see all the upgraded and cleaner swap part available to make the engine bay look much cleaner. So my question is where can I locate if they even make the one, a coolant line kit for my turbo. Also i was wondering if anyone could send me a link of where i could see some different setups on how different people have run there coolant line setups. because over the recent years if i go out and run the car hard for a some time my coolant temp starts to go very high. I have been running a hybrid racing 1/2 rad with a slim fan, but just recently purchased a full size rsx koyo rad with 2 slim fans which i need to get hoses for and install it to keep the temp down. any help or pic would be greatly appreciated thank you!

Well I had issues with the hoses getting brittle over time requiring them to be changed .I finally called ATP Turbo and ordered a set of these fittings they get the hoses out away from the turbo and make for a real nice clean look and hold up to the heat very well .hit up ATP http://www.atpturbo.com/root/navigation/contactus.php



You'll also want to get these fittings from jegs to go from the -6 an hoses shown above to 5/16 rubber hose and to the barbs on your engine "if you still have them"

I don't think these fittings are gonna make any difference in temps though.That full size rad and twin fans will though as I've been through the same thing with almost the same set up.

those lines are nice but they look to short for where my turbo is located
Just also get those Aeromotive fittings from Jegs that I posted the link for and you can switch to rubber hose at the fittings and make the lines as long as you want the braided hoses are short but they eliminated issues 100% for me as the intense heat that causes issues with rubber hoses is only near the turbo .
