For guys with the Subaru engine conversion - how are you transitioning from the hoses coming back under the car and into the waterpump inlet?
My JDM 2.0 turbo engine has the water pump inlet pointing outward - towards the drivers (left) side of the car. I'd like the coolant return hose either coming down the center of the chassis underneath (like the standard Renegade set-up) or possibly on the passenger side of the car.
Question is: how do I get from the waterpump inlet - pointing left/ 1.5" diameter, back to pointing straight forward or towards the right side of the car and down to 1.25" diameter - with a minimum of fittings and connections? How is this handled with the standard Renegade conversion? I've got pics of every other facet of the conversion, all but this waterpump plumbing "detail".
I could run Silicone elbows, but that means at least 2 elbows and two splice/unions to get the hose running in the right direction.
