Re: Coolant Crossover Pipes

A lot of people just bypass the TB and run the hose from the coolant cross over pipe to somewhere in the cooling system you see fit.

I used Jared's radiator and removed the drain pet cock and screwed a 1/8" barb and ran it straight there from the coolant cross over.

Re: Coolant Crossover Pipes

If you've got a spot in the radiator, that is probably going to be the best spot for you. As long as you are not looking at the trans cooler connections.

Re: Coolant Crossover Pipes

Yeah that is the newer design radiator that incorporates that spot just for the coolant crossover hose. Older ones didn't have it.
