ok i tried searching but am kind of on a tight schedule so flame me if you want but this is my trouble.

bought ka radiator hoses to try and put on my rb25 but i was told that they need some modifying. but now i look at them and the lower hose wont even fit the outlet from the engine and the upper is to long so i dont know where to start?

cut it to fit
if sizes of the hose dont match measure the metal outlets and go into autozone and ask to go look at the rad hoses they have hanging and fine one with the correct size

The ka's that go into the motor are too small. They almost fit but just too small in the end. The right way is to get obxR ones or samco for the rb. If you can find one off of a stock rb, i.e. front clip that is the way to go, but those are hard to source. Another way to just get you going is a coupler. Get a hose that fits on the motor and one that fits onto the radiator, and then use a coupler to mate them together. Don't suggest this for a permanent fix, but it will get you going till you can find the right hose. Hope this helps
