Booger Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) I’m having some trouble with the outlet on my coolant neck. The engine is a rwd jdm sr20de (non turbo) and the vehicle is a 72 510. The problem I’m having is my coolant outlet on my motor comes straight out towards the front of the car. Giving me virtually zero clearance for my radiator. I have managed to make it work for a month (by cutting off 1/8” off radiator inlet to make clearance) but the radiator is shifted wayyyy over to the passenger side of the car. Basically it looks like an idiot mounted the radiator too far on the passenger side 🤣. Having said that, I went online and purchased a sr20ve water neck outlet but that didn’t work either. The neck on the ve comes straight up and hits my distributor. I know I’m not the only one who’s ran into this problem before. Is there a outlet neck I can use that comes out towards to driver side of the vehicle? If I had that, then I could use a 90 degree coolant hose and come straight into my radiator which would allow me to “push” my radiator towards the driver side. ☝️clearance with stock outlet Another angle ☝️this is what it looks like from the front/top side angle (again stock outlet) what you see from the front of the car. The radiator is pushed towards the passenger side leaving a large gap/misalignment ☝️sr20ve coolant outlet I purchased online thinking it would work 🤦♂️ another angle of the ve outlet. ☝️👇pics for comparison. Sr20ve on the left and stock SR20DE non turbo rwd on the right. Edited November 10, 2019 by Booger Quote Link to comment

Tedman Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Had to go look at mine- looks like it was cut and welded. This is an S15 SR20DE. Edited November 10, 2019 by Tedman Quote Link to comment
Booger Posted November 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the info everyone. I sent out an email to Datsport and if that doesn’t work, I’ll have to get it welded up. Thanks again Edited November 10, 2019 by Booger Quote Link to comment
