Thats a water line to cool the turbo? I had to change it months ago after it decide to break.. Very pqinful to replace. Connects to a hardline under the intake manifold.

My car is rhd, so my ac lines wasn't a problem.. Disconnect the trans mount and jack the trans up to clear space between the head and firewall

Yep I hate that line. To make life easier get the steel braided lines when you replace it.

I did the exact same thing about a year ago when swapping to s15 turbo. Its already been said, but yeah, there is a hard line that it meets halfway between the hot and cold sides behind the head. I ended up just plugging that hardline and ran a new line off the water neck for future ease. Good luck

Or... You could just snag up a S14 water neck and run a SS braided line to that!
Delete the line in the rear of head. Pain free with no headaches! |

Either way - just make sure it's a reliable connection. Don't use a vacuum cap, it won't last.

BTW - the cheaper way to go is to just drill and tap the S13 water neck and put a 1/8" NPT to whatever fitting you're using on the water lines (I've usually used -4, small and plenty of flow).
Takes a few minutes, and the fitting costs a few bucks. An S14 waterneck is kinda pricey.

If you're using the existing M14x1.5 mm port for a temp sensor, then you need to do something to add the coolant return to it.
So why not just mod what you've got? People on Zilvia are so afraid of doing some light fabrication it's ridiculous.

I am in agreement with your last statement.
I utilized the existing port for my coolant return and then drilled and tapped the square pad on top for the sensor. |
