It makes installing the pistons SOOO easy, I watched my friend with a sr20 try and use the adjustable one, the compressor is soooooooo worth it!

It was the best single use tool (I hope) I ever bought.

Lines are #1 22" long with a 90* and a 45* fitting line #2 17 1/2" long with 2 90* fittings.

If I put it as far over as I can anyone know if it will work or do I need longer lines? (These came with the cooler)

you will probably need longer lines. I relocated mine from the drivers side wheel well area to in front of my IC. Hose lengths stayed the exact same.



It took quite a bit of hose to get around and down to the oil cooler adapter plate. Bend radius is gradual which eats up a lot of the line.

You will have to mount your cooler up high so that the fittings are not so low.

Yeah, Mine is on the driver's side and use 5 and 4 feet of line, I don't think 2 feet will cut it even from the passenger side, but look around under there get a little creative and maybe you'll find a solution. The offeset fittings (two on the same side) may help you make that work. Just keep it in free air.

You would be better off with replacing both hoses.

1 more union equals 4 more leak locations. 2 more fittings that can break, strip ect.

I hope you got a good deal on the kit.

I built mine from the DIY on here and it wasnt that expensive and my lines are a perfect fit.

also just cleaned things up a bit.

Waterproof connector for temp sensor connection
and covered up the blue aeroquip hoses with braided nylon. Makes it a lot cleaner. Using the flash on the camera shows the blue behind the nylon but in person its hard to tell.

Heres how mine looks with the bumper on.

Above post was from the 16th. Called today, asked how it was going. They have not started and don't expect to start till mid week next week.

Realistically, they say three weeks until they are done. That means it will be 5 weeks.

I was joking when I said I'd like to be done by Christmas.

That is still alot faster than mine went, what bothers me is what they have to do is relatively easy... It should not take that long... I see you got a thermostatic sandwich, good move!
