K-Tuned presents a top - notch custom rad hose kit for K - swapped vehicles. These upgraded silicone radiator hoses are specifically designed to fit perfectly in select K - swapped cars that use the OEM RSX/EP3 radiator or most RSX/EP3 specific aftermarket units. The RSX rad is full - width, so for Civics, a bit of simple modification and re - positioning of the rad mounting tabs are needed for a proper fit. This hose set only works with the OEM K24/K20Z3 style neck mounted on the side of the cylinder head above the transmission. Made from strong, heat - resistant, high - grade 4 - ply reinforced silicone, the inner 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, eliminating the hassle of universal hoses. There are also 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 easy. First, make sure your vehicle uses an OEM RSX/EP3 radiator or a compatible aftermarket one and has an OEM K24/K20Z3 style side - mounted upper coolant neck. If you're installing on a Civic, you'll need to do some simple modifications to the rad mounting tabs. Just attach the hoses to the appropriate connections on your engine and radiator. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the hoses for any signs of wear, like cracks or leaks. If you notice any issues, replace the hoses right away. Keep them clean and avoid exposing them to sharp objects that could damage the silicone. These hoses are built to last, but proper care will ensure they serve you well for a long time.
