I purchased OBX radiator hoses from Sparktec Motorsports and i have a GT. I believe i received ST hoses because none of the hoses fit. Especially the top one, from block to radiator. OBX tells Sparktec that they should fit the GT and ST model, which i find hard to believe. I just need a confirmation stating that the hoses are different lengths because of the engine that are in the cars. This has been going on for 2 weeks now i still cant either get the correct part, or at least a partial refund. Any confirmation will do please. Thanks!

judging from these pics the hoses are different lengths so it look like they aren't interchangeable, if they aren't giving you what you paid for i say you demand a refund or at least the right hoses

Hey sugarfree. If you do indeed have a GT then you need the hoses for the 2.2L 5S-FE - which is the second picture above. The ST engine is the 1.8L 7A-FE which is the first picture above. The hoses are very different for the two. thumbsdown.gif If you can I would go with Gates Racing hoses. I have a '94 GT with those hoses - and they are rubber - instead of silicone like the OBX. I think I got the set (upper and lower) of Gates Racing hoses on eBay for like $55 or so shipped. thumbsup.gif

Dude - apparently you haven't done many transactions on eBay - yes the picture may be for Honda but trust me - the actual item in the listing is for the 94-99 2.2L Celica engine. I know because I ordered a set - same pictures being listed, which are usually generic stock photos unless otherwise noted, but also with the same description for 96-99 2.2L Celica - and they are direct OE fitment. Please do your research before posting and making yourself look ignorant. laugh.gif
