Raider's Neverending love/hate with Christine

If I worked at Audi it would be a hard pipe that went the whole way around the motor and had a flex joint that was good for 85,000 miles buried somewhere 7 hours into disassembling the car

Eric can you post a pic from the side?

 

Find a hose from a Buick Encore/Chevy Cruise or any of those with the 1.4 turbo. You want the hose that runs from the coolant reservoir to the water outlet between the head and throttle body inlet tube. Same diameter, but has a good bend. I had a spare in my box that I cut when I installed mine.

 

I'll look. 90 degree fitting search was a bust.

 

I had emailed Matt@DM to confirm the hose size so I could make sure to buy the correct fitting, and he ended up just sending me a 90° elbow himself.

 

3/8" hose, I got that, I may find a molded 90 degree hose though, am looking.

 

do you remember the part number?

 

I can get it for you tomorrow when I go into work. I logged into Service Information and got a picture of the hose. It is number 6 in the image. As you can see it is a decent 90 degree bend



I suggest just grabbing one from a junk yard. Mostly cause it's far cheaper than buying one at a dealer. They always break at the water outlet side because the plastic becomes brittle but the hose itself holds up well.

 

Lol at raider needing a GM part to fix his car

 

I know right?

 

Watch it breaks on startup

 

I mean I did just install a new engine in a 2021 Silverado with 2500 miles on it lol. We have a recall now to try and make the valve springs fail cause the product is that bad.

 

Fuck. I may look for a prefab 90 degree coolant hose. This is getting stupid lol.

 

Post a pic from the other angle

This what you need?

Edit, Sharks beat me to it

 

That is it. I'll check my Depot as many are out of brass. I would ideally like the preformed hose of course.

 

This was on another thread of mine but was hard to find. If you go with the 1 piece 90 you might not be able to install it with the EGR bolt in the way as you can't rotate it. I just used 2 pieces.




I also recommend this stuff. Works great to seal the threads without messing with the stupid tape.

I called damond and spoke to @Matt@DM and it's a 1/8" npt on the damond egr plate.. the 3/8" 90 deg barb under their vacuum block fittings will work $2.50 https://damondmotorsports.com/products/vacuum-block-fittings?variant=36560953553

edit: JT gave you a the specs on in too sweet, matt@damond did mention that commonly with the CS turbo people run the 90 deg fitting to solve the issue

 

FuckGM. I just can't. Damond ftw

 

Lol I dont blame you dude. I say fuck GM every day I go into work but they keep breaking which makes me money.
