Everytime i try a search for the upright rad mounting i see people talking about the brackets but not the hoses.. do the stock hoses just have enough play to mount the radiator upright or do you cut the top one or switch the top and bottom?

 

A lot of people just make it work. By either just cutting and splicing with tubing or I have seen some of the more craftier people use the flex bellow tube to connect the existing pluming with the new upright oriented parts. Though the flex bellow tubes are not very attractive.

 

All depends on what set-up you are using. For instance with the Greddy FMIC, you use the supplied aluminum bent pipe that comes with the kit. You follow the instructions and cut the upper and lower rad. hoses in the correct locations. and they fit.

It varies for other models of IC's and rad.set-ups though

 

hey man i had a apexi fmic and it still uses the top rad hose (from the coolant neck) just 3 in shorter, and i use another hose from auto zone or local parts store

its pretty simple

good luck

Just got to do some cutting. No one sells the hoses over here, that I know of..

 

I did the EXACT same thing as rotorboy with my apexi...even went to autozone too.

 

Awesome, thanks a lot guys I was wondering if the stock ones would work or not.. This more than explains it.. just gotta wait for my 3 row to arrive now
