Been working on my galant lately, planning to daily drive it for a bit and ordered up a big scirocco radiator as my old radiator was leaking. Looks like the inlet at the bottom is a larger diameter than stock and the top hose will be a slightly different path than stock.

What are you guys with scirocco rads doing about hoses? Any nice silicone solutions? Running hoses you found at the parts store?

Thanks!

When I get things set up I'll take some pics, it's been a long time.

Here's a video of mine, start up vid you can see the part numbers on the hoses still that are available at any Oreillys.

Are you running an afco or griffin rad? The afco has a 1-1/4" inlet and outlet (which is what I have) and you can use the stock lower hose. I picked up a straight piece of reinforced hose (asked for semi truck rad hose), 1-1/4", and used that for my upper. You need just over a foot of hose.

You may be able to do the same for a griffin rad. I believe they have a 1-3/8" connection for the lower hose.

Yep. Griffin core.

Thanks guys.

Damn, my AFCO has 1 3/4 outlet and 1 1/2 inlet. I used universal hoses form Orielly.

I used a stock 1g upper hose, just trimmed it a little, And i used a stock vr4 lower hose same thing trimmed just a lil. works just fine

Bottom I used an aluminum tube with a fitting for the factory fan switch and a -6AN with a cap so I had a drain.

I have an s2 8valve scirocco and the upper hose is damn near identical its just a little longer I think and it had a little bit more of a kink in it. I ran it on my vr4 for a few weeks until I ordered one from mitsu.

Running new OEM 1G DSM upper and lower hoses radiator hoses, had to trim them a tad, but fits great!
