I used a 3/8"npt to AN-10, and then a 90degree -10 to 7/16" I believe.

Thanks alot!

I can only find a -10AN fitting to a -10AN barb or a 5/18" barb (-10AN has an O.D. of 5/8 anyway im pretty sure, so they are the same).

Im sure i can get the hose to fit over the end of a 5/8" barb, its only slightly larger.

So im going to get:
1. 3/8 NPT tap
2. 3/8 NPT to -10AN male
3. -10AN to 5/8" barb

my friend needs to replace his block on an 06si, it threw a rod. he's getting a k20a2 block, does he need to do this as well? i don't quite understand what happened there

 

[jellybean]

this was for a k24a2. it has a dif port dealy.
a k20 head you can just buy the upper water neck thingy and bolt it on...wish k24a2s were like that but they had a dif intake mani so it had to be dif

 

[btf]

cool. anyone have a link that shows the difference between a k24a2 and a k20z3 head?

 

[jellybean]

its in the stickys. k20 comes out the side of the head.
k24a2 comes out the front

put grease on the tap. shavings will stick to it. then use a shop vac.

sorry to bump old thread.

just confused with tap sizes at the moment.
ive been told to use 3/4" tap for coolant port and 1/2" for EGR.

this is what i find strange.
clubrsx said to use 3/8" tap for coolant port? but isnt 3/8" = 9.5mm
wouldn't 3/8" be too small for the coolant port?
wouldn't 1/2" be too small for the EGR port?

coolant port has smaller hole diameter (13.45mm)
EGR port has larger diameter (18.95mm)

http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=644703&page=3

from google tap searches, it shows that i should be using:
coolant port (13.45mm) = 5/8-11 tap
EGR port (18.95mm) = 7/8-9 tap

*erikloza's pic

to the egr port would use 1/2" tap like shown in pic?

 

[signalpuke]

If you are using a 3/8" NPT you need a 9/16" tap.

 

[mocchi]

so im really confused now lol. end up buying 3/8, 9/16 & 1/2" taps.
16 Threads Per Inch = 1.5mm pitch thread right?
