K-Tuned Premium K20-Swap Silicone Radiator Hoses - Full RSX RAD for EG, DC2 & EK (w/ EKK2 mounts only) with OEM or aftermarket RSX/EP3 Radiator and K20 style, front mounted upper coolant neck
K-Tuned has introduced another awesome custom rad hose kit for K-swapped vehicles. These upgraded hoses are a perfect fit for several K-swapped cars that use the OEM RSX/EP3 radiator and most RSX/EP3 specific aftermarket units. Since the RSX rad is a full - width rad, you'll need to make some simple modifications and move the rad mounting tabs for a proper fit on Civics. Also, note that this hose set only works with the K20 style neck beside the intake manifold.
These K-Tuned rad hoses are crafted from strong, heat - resistant, high - grade, 4 - ply reinforced silicone. The inner silicone layers are red, and the outer layer is black with white K - Tuned logos at both ends. They're compatible with all PRB/PRC, RBC/RRC, and Skunk2 intake manifolds. Say goodbye to installation headaches and dealing with universal hoses. There are many other applications available, like hoses for the RSX/EP3, 8th Gen Civic Si, and K - Swap vehicles with half rad setups.
Using these K - Tuned radiator hoses is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is a K - swapped one and meets the requirements like having the K20 style neck and the appropriate radiator. If you're using it on a Civic, be prepared to do some simple modifications to the rad mounting tabs. When installing, ensure a proper fit with the intake manifold as they are designed to work with specific types. As for maintenance, regularly check for any signs of wear or damage, especially around the areas where the hoses connect. Since they're made of heat - resistant silicone, they can handle high temperatures well, but it's still a good idea to keep an eye on them. If you notice any leaks or cracks, replace the hoses right away to avoid any cooling system issues.
