5SFE Aftermarket Radiator Hose Options

[Tigawoods]

Searching around the forum there isnt a thread that is specific to 5sfe aftermarket rad hoses.



The lower piece of the ebay silicone hose kit for the 7afe can be used for the 5SFE's lower rad. It is a little long so some needs to be trimmed off.

I havent been able to find anything for the upper rad hose other than Mishimoto's universal hoses, which I havent had any experience with so I am not 100% sure if it would adapt.

Any input on other alternatives?

this is what i got from mishimoto below. So that means unless you know which elbows you need and get a middle man alum pipe is fine. its been said a 3sgte upper hose would fit but looking at pics they are similar but not exact. it would have to fit and have some tolerance bend to make it fit but not kink the hose. Theres threads here that say it fits, but no pic proof, just words. based on pics the radiator on a 3sgte is different where the hose attaches to, but just looking at the shape of the hose, it looks like a 5s but flipped the other way.

Thanks for the E-mail!

The universal kit we have found to be best for customers looking for a specific bend when attaching smaller aluminum pipes together. It rarely can fit as a drop in replacement. Unfortunately, at this time we do not offer a silicone hose kit specific to the 1994 Celica GT 2.2L. I am sorry for any inconvenience. However, I will be happy to add your information to our product suggestion list! If we do decide to come out with a product that matches your description, we will be sure to contact you!



Let me know if there is anything else we can help with!



Thanks,
