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?
