My KLZE Festiva Build Thread

Yeah, it's really just a medium pressure petroleum resistant Braided hose. They sell the stuff in bulk at anyplace that sells heavy equipment hoses and supplies. Goodyear and gates are two popular manufacturers. Half inch is also referred to as 13mm.
Do you have a good amount of drop after the turbo? In the picture the hose seems to go uphill a bit, it's good to avoid that whenever possible.

They do have tranny cooler line in 3/8 and even 1/2 inch.

But is that 1/2" inside diameter?

[bhazard]

Or hydraulic hose?

[Advancedynamix]

When you go to the parts store ask for "transmission oil cooler line" works better in the long run. I've run mine for 4 yrs no problems

The guy at Napa was like, "on what planet does a festiva require 10ft of tranny cooler hose?"

Lol it's alright Charlie I'm confident this hose will work just fine though lol

Lol tranny lines are too small for the fitting I have, the fittings I have are 1/2", unless there's tranny lines that big?

In the time it took me to post, the topic had been thoroughly discussed! Lol

Chris, it says heater hose in big white letters on it! Lol
I used a formed heater hose on tweak for the turbo drain because my stock b6t one was junk and I was in a pinch. With a little trimming it fit perfect, and I was skeptical, but 10k miles later out hasn't leaked a drop and the oil hasn't broken the rubber down at all either. For anyone with a b6t who needs this hose it's Dayco pt# 87315. It's for a Metro I think.

I actually never read the hose til you guys said something

I picked it up at the hardware store, told them what I was doing, that's what they have me off a big roll

[Damkid]
