Installing Circuit Sports S13 SR20DET Turbo Lines - Rear Coolant Line?

[KeithDigital]

Wondering if anyone has installed these lines while the engine is in the car? I am having a problem with the coolant line that connects behind the block on an S13. I can't reach the factory line to remove it. How do I remove it to install the new line? (middle line in the picture below) Thanks.

what i did was i removed the tranny mount...and put a floor jack on the tail shaft and lifted it a bit. that will give u more room behing the head.

It's tight like a tiger back there.

Damn, doesn't sound easy. I have my AC line back there too!

i took mines off with motor inside chasis. Took out turbo mani, crank case pressure vent (w/e its called), the coil pack wires and ground behind the engine, my plug for the O2 sensor, and slowly loosen and pull it out. I didnt have any a/c so it might be different in your case.

Also, just a fyi, i blew my s14 bb turbo using that end piece from the oil inlet piece that connects block to lines (cc lines). Take it out and make sure the hole is big enough for oil to pass through. The one that came with my lines looked as small as a turbo restrictor, and it will prevent oil from actually getting into the turbo. Just a fyi just in case you get one similar like mines. Either drill it out bigger, like the stock one, or get a different piece.

Picture reference, blue one was my earls fitting, and the silver one came with the circuit sport lines.

That is strange, you are suppose to use that fitting for ball bearing, here is the one I am going to use on my BB turbo:

0.03" oil restrictor

The one that came with my Circuit Sports line is much bigger.

Maybe your S14 turbo was not ball bearing? I have been reading up a lot about it and:
Journal Bearing 95-96
Ball Bearing 96-98

[bl3ujay07]

my turbo was ball bearing. Trust me. I bought a restrictor from phase2 (taka) and the one circuit sport sent me was small. The one they sent me will only fit the block, not the turbo. If yours is bigger, by all means.

if u would search you would have found the thread about this .......

there isnt an easy way, just tough it out, maybe get some one with really tiny hands. Tilting the motor forward will help, i didnt do b/c my drive was quite unsuited for jacking up.

common fuck up during a sr20swap... makes life harder doing everything else.
this coolant line doesn't have to do a loop.. its not a roller-coaster.

at this point in time, remove that heater hose,
If u can get a nice piece of hose on that fitting in the back.. so it will extend the position you have to work in. then assemble the return line onto that hose..

just for a side note.
this is what it "should" look like...

You are correct. That's the Heavy Throttle heater hose kit.


Remove the rear coolant line and weld the fitting shut.

Get an S14 water outlet and reroute the return line to the water outlet for much easier access.

That's what I was looking for. I wish I would have known this before I bought the S13 line kit. I just researched it and the S14 water outlet + S14 line kit is the way to go (just cost more money to do it that way.)

It's a pain in me brussels.

[slider2828]

I failed on the heater hose too! Mine is looped around like Heavy Throttle Sucks!!!

Anyone got a link to the kit I need to buy?

[om3ga]

I make a kit that loops around and is WAY WAY cleaner than the other one. Im not on zilvia much ever otherwise youd know about it haha. I can post pics on here if you want and threadjack this bad boy.

[KeithDigital]

Yea post it, I may need it.

[theslows13]

lol at people doing that loop bs. youre smart enough to do an engine swap but not to cut a pipe shorter? cracks me up

[KeithDigital]

Ha yea, the problem is, I didn't do my swap, I bought my car like that. So now I have my AC Line and heater hose ontop of the little turbo coolant hose that I need to get to that is also shoved behind the back of the engine...

[Odysseus]

For the heater hoses, I didnt have the cut the pipe nor did I have to do a gay loop thing. Enjuku Racing sells a kit that works perfect for SR swaps into LHD chassis' without any mods...

Made it really easy to do. And you can also see the turbo coolant line in one of the pictures...
