does any one out there have pictures of how they routed thier coolant lines to and from the radiator on a swap with a ej20g into an gc they would be very beneficial to me right now and yes i already did many searches

yeah let me find it

cant really see because of the radiator hose but the line that starts from by the cap on the engine is going to the over flow located on the opposite side of the radiator right?

they don't cross what starts on the left stays on the left

in line with the coolant questions.
Im doing a ej20g swap but keeping the a/c
where did you guys mount the coolant tank when ya kept the a/c
And how many of you used bulk hose to make your hoses?

I kept a/c and left the coolant tank where it was. Do you mean using the WRX radiator?

??
i am using the stock 1.8 radiator and coolant tank in its stock location
i used high pressure fuel line for the hose

i have another question for you ej20g guys i have now come to just the wiring, since i wont be using any of th wiring harness from the 1.8 that goes through the firewall from the ecu would it be ok to just cut that part off to make room for the wrx harness?

ixnay on the cut anything-ay

i need to dig this one up.

i got all my coolant lines plumbed but am having some issues with the coolant.
I used the 1.8l stock radiator and cap but we just pulled the seal off the springed part to let the coolant flow into the by pass hose which we have routed to the turbo tank. but now my cap is leaking how did you guys get around this?

My leaked like crazy, Just grab some pliers and squeeze the tabs on the cap. It will make it a tighter seal. I dont think you need to take the seal off you just need to molest that spring and the internals of the cap.

so just the ones that lock the cap down squeeze those?

yeah we didnt know if we had to tear the seal or cut the spring or what so we just took the seal off so it could seap by.


What did you guys do for the 2 lines that came off the water pump?
we mounted the rubber lines to the metal tubes off the ej20g the one that goes to the heater and then the one that crosses over the top of the block.
and wedged everything behind the timing cover with the dipstick. but i think i may have a leak there.?

i went and bought 2 new caps for a total of $9
cut the plunger off one of them
do not get a super string cap your radiator will explode

Cut it to fit the cap like a little donut and squeeze it in there, then squeeeeze the cap on. It'll be very tight, but won't leak.

The best solution is to go to Subaru and get the second cap that goes on the radiator that is a new feature on the 03+ WRX. It is just a cap it has not spring in it. From what I understand Mazda also sells one like this for the RX7 but from what I understand all RX7 parts are quite pricey.

i fixed the radiator cap by squeezing down the ears on the cap and the other leak i adjusted a hose clamp and its fixed as well.
