K-Tuned has enhanced its well - loved Driver Side Rad Hoses for K - swaps. These hoses are perfect for EG, DC2, EK models (EKK2 mounts only) with a relocated 92 - 00 Civic half rad and K20A, K20A2, K20A3 or K20Z1 cylinder head. After noticing copies of our original design, we've introduced something new. The lower hose now has a built - in port for an optional bung for an OEM rad fan switch. You won't need to cut the hose to install a bulky and ugly aluminum adapter. If you don't use a fan switch, the included plug and clamp can easily seal the port. The plug can also be drilled and tapped for auxiliary coolant sensors. We still suggest installing the single - wire coolant temp gauge sensor in the upper rad hose location. Made from top - notch 4 - ply silicone, these hoses work with most 92 - 00 half - size radiators relocated to the driver side of the engine bay. They're compatible with all PRB, PRC and RBC/RRC intake manifolds. Say goodbye to installation headaches and universal hoses.
Using these K - Tuned driver side rad hoses is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is an EG, DC2, EK model with EKK2 mounts, a relocated 92 - 00 Civic half rad, and one of the specified K - series cylinder heads. If you want to use the fan switch, install it in the built - in port on the lower hose. If not, just use the included plug and clamp to seal the port. For auxiliary coolant sensors, you can drill and tap the plug. Remember to install the single - wire coolant temp gauge sensor in the upper rad hose location. As for maintenance, regularly check the hoses for any signs of wear or leaks. Since they're made of high - quality 4 - ply silicone, they should last a long time, but it's always good to keep an eye on them. And if you notice any issues, replace the hoses promptly to keep your engine running smoothly.
