I tried to fit my water hoses to the radiator of my st204 from the Gen III 3sgte the other day since I'm nearing completion and all I really have left to do is find some individual coils, finish my rewire, and get an oil feed for my turbo. The radiator hose bumps the turbo. I'm running a FMIC air to air setup, I believe the stock GT4 3sgte setup is water to air IC. So I will be running the top radiator hose straight from the head to the rad. My questions are where to get a hose that has the bends that I need to go around the turbo? Is there a car that this hose is made for? I'm good friends with the guys at Napa so I might just take the hose there and have them try to find a hose that has the bends I need. I'm sure there is a car out there that I can use the hose from. I have both coolant necks from the 3sge and the 3sgte, right now I'll probably use the 3sge one because it seems easier to find a hose to fit it, the 3sgte one angles down a bit, but it has more water nipples. I'll figure it out I'm sure. I would really like to know about the radiator though. I'm tempted to get another radiator that has the top water inlet more towards the driverside, but that would require finding a radiator that fits AND a radiator hose that fits. Any input?

im running a front mount too, you dont need a different rad hose unless your piping is in the way, my 5s hoe goes right around the turbo with no problem.
 what you will have to do is shorten it just a little bit because the hoser is a little bit to long and puts a slight kink in the hose which will prevent the coolant from flowing properly This post has been edited by Ted95: Nov 10, 2011 - 10:44 PM -------------------- st205 powered ss3 coupe
