Well, that makes some sense—though I may try it with some actual 1/ NPT plugs, the ones it came with don't seem to go in very tight even with pipe tape.
I'm not sure how you'd use them to air bleed without spilling coolant, but hopefully it's not really necessary.
Thank you!!

No problem, and I see what you mean about the slight difference.
Let me know how they fit

My experience with pipe thread is, it gets REALLY tight quickly.. these didn't really feel that way, it's sort of a gradual tightening, even with tape. I'm not inclined to crank on it and strip the aluminum.
I guess in absence of any more sound experience, I'll just have to fill it and see what happens. I'm going to be really pissed off if as soon as it gets hot I get three little jets of coolant everywhere.

Did anyone have any missing pieces to the 99 spec greddy kit from sakebomb? Looks like im missing the pipe that goes from the output of the radiator to the input of the thermostat housing. The one where you have to cut your existing hose in half.
Nevermore. . Pictures threw off the actual size of it.. found it in a small box

The extra bungs in the radiator are for temperature sensors. I never had an issue plugging them with the provided hardware and Teflon paste. The stock fans bolt right on.
The Japanese AC condenser is different. It takes minor modification of the mounting brackets to make it work. Cut off the bottom passenger tab on the condenser. Re-drill holes where you need them. I've installed about 2 dozen of these kits and its not too difficult to make the ac work.

I took the opportunity while this was apart to swap out all coolant hoses, either with the HPS full molded silicone set, or with reinforced silicone heater hose. Both HPS and Vibrant sell it. Zero rubber left. I also bypassed the throttle body and eliminated the separate AST with the integrated AST/Filler neck, and made sure every hose clamp was the right size/same brand for easier time working on it.
I used the foam that came with it, plus some more I had, plus a little extra carbon fiber and bulb sealer to maker shields so the radiator and the drivers side are 100% sealed, and still easy to take apart and work on.
I've got an idea to widen the M2 carbon fiber intake box I have leftover to make a truly sealed/ducted cola air intake.
