Upper Radiator Hose Hard Pipe

Caraudioholic24 · Post by **Caraudioholic24** » Sat Feb 20, 2010 1:59 am

I know they make them for the Srt's just curious if anyone has tried to fit one on a neon. I also have an r/t mag intake so not sure if clearance will be an issue. Thanks

Heres a link to what Im talking bout

Your thermostat outlet has a far different angle than ours and its further over to the left. IMO it won't work properly, the metal wouldn't be bent right and would have to sit above the first runner on the intake. If it sat that high (these pipes are angled) it wouldn't meet the water outlet properly. You could try it, but here's why I don't think it would work:

IIRC there is a member on here that did it awhile back. Im sure you could do it by just buying the pipe and cutting your stock hose and getting new clamps.

DAM I wasnt sure if they made one specific for the regular neons. Im curious??

SlvrACR I left you a pm a while back bout that valve cover let me know

I was looking into one also.. I think that you can make it work, but you will have to alot of modifying to make it fit.

Or you could do an SRT swap and then it would work perfectly.

if you have crazy cash to burn killerglass makes a pyrex pipe thats clear and has some leds in it to light it up.

oh god. that is one of the sexiest neon engine bays i have ever seen!

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Sun Feb 21, 2010 9:07 am

That's not the SRT-4 pipe....at least not the JMB one the JMB one will not work. That looks like a different piece of piping. FYI the one you're looking at on Ebay is sold at Home Depot for like....$9.

plumbing section of HD(Home Depot)........its a metal 1.5 (L-shape) pipe.

part # H803-1 tailpiece oh & get some SS clamps

Read and heed: http://www.srtforums.com/forums/f69/hom ... pe-489736/

If you do get it to work, don't try running worm clamps with it use t-bolts. If you don't use them, it WILL leak (prior experience). I would measure your engine bay first since you will need a longer pipe to clear it, but Home Depot is your friend.

I was thinking that. The only issue I have is the ones Ive seen have the little ridge in them to help keep the hoses from sliding off. Thats what I was curious about. Wondering if there is a way to mock that ridge then everyone could make their own. LOL
There are some nice pics there on srt forums.

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Sun Feb 21, 2010 9:33 am

so what kinda of pipe is used on that radiator hose thing. like do they just go to the store and buy a pipe and cut it to fit.. like what can withstand coolant passing trough it is wat im asking.

SlvrACR · Post by **SlvrACR** » Sun Feb 21, 2010 9:39 am

I hate the JMB one because it doesnt sit horizontal and drives me nuts

Its a sink drain pipe. Now the only problem I have is the ridge like I spoke about before.

And yes SilvrACR I would want mine likt the sexy one pictured up above...nice and straight. (I pmed you)

LSP what size tclamps are needed 2"?

theTeejmiester · Post by **theTeejmiester** » Sun Feb 21, 2010 3:11 pm

its a idea that has been going around for awhile. it looks pretty cool, plus most neon owners love ghetto mods

acr · Post by **acr** » Sun Feb 21, 2010 3:56 pm

It looks like the JMB pipe to me, and I don't see why the JMB pipe would not work? All you need is just cut the hose to fit to proper lenght.

TheBlueSXT · Post by **TheBlueSXT** » Sun Feb 21, 2010 4:09 pm

I think I'm going to have to do this...that engine bay is sick!

I think they're 1.75" to be honest. I ended up using constant torques because I was sick of the leaking, these pipes are a pain in the ass.

It shouldn't look like one to you. The JMB pipe is angled, this is a flat piece of pipe. The JMB pipe also has curves where it meets the hoses, the home depot one does not.

Mike: The JMB one has the ridges too

SlvrACR · Post by **SlvrACR** » Sun Feb 21, 2010 5:11 pm

So dont use t-clamps or what? This what your talking about?

I don't think you know what you are talking about that is a JMB hard pipe, I know the guy who owns it.

theTeejmiester · Post by **theTeejmiester** » Sun Feb 21, 2010 6:25 pm

yes but if you look carefully she OWNS one on her pink srt, so going from owning one, to "knowing" someone who owns one i would believe her, and to me it looks nothing like the JMB piece

Caraudioholic24 · Post by **Caraudioholic24** » Sun Feb 21, 2010 6:54 pm

well where can i gets one LOL

Well I don't care if you don't beleave me, All I know it fits the r/t

There was a member that was going to make an aluminum one around last April or so, but it kind of fizzled out, so I won't bother linking it.

There are no pics, or anything that will help this discussion.

I figure if he doesn't want to do it, I won't link the thread, so he isn't being pestered...

As for a lip/bead for hose retention, you need something like THIS

But unless you have/have access to one, it isn't really worth it.

SlvrACR · Post by **SlvrACR** » Sun Feb 21, 2010 9:33 pm

A few SRT guys just welded a bead on the tip but most said they had no problems with it.
