 Coolant hose sizing, 914s are air-cooled? But SHO-914s are H2O! |

I'm gathering data for my 914-SHO conversion about getting the coolant from the front to the mid-engine position. The fitting sizes on the engine appear to 1-1/4" for inlet and 1-1/2" for outlet.
I don't have the fitting sizes on the radiator - you think they'd match, but that's not a given. Still doing more research there. I'd like to get the supply hose down to 1" and the return to 1-1/4" to make routing along the body easier. Any thoughts, experiences from the V8/V6 folks? TIA, |

I used 1" ID hose from engine to radiator, and 1.25" from radiator to engine, for my turbocharged Subaru setup. I used silicone reducer hoses to mate up with the Subaru and Griffin inlets/outlets as needed. You can buy 'em at frozenboost.com, as well as aluminum hose connectors and continuous smooth-bore hose clamps so you don't damage the silicone hoses.
Of course, my car is not yet running (!!!), so YMMV. |
