This the right crossover tube?

[Hollowdweller]

Is this the correct coolant crossover for the 2007-2009(maybe 2010)?

if what I think is right the red circle tube shouldn’t be there and the yellow circle should have something coming out of it for a hose to hook to? I’m just now looking at hose routing so the piece could be right…dunno

No it is not correct...it should have a tube coming out bottom, and not the one coming out the side, like you
mentioned.

 

[Hollowdweller]

Welllllll…..crap, thought I got lucky when I found it!! I’m wondering if I can cap the red tube and drill out and thread in the bottom tube. Guess I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!!

Something like this in yellow circle. What size in this fitting should I use?

If it physically fits (without obstructing/interfering with anything else) I see no reason why you cannot extend or replace & reroute the line that connected to the bottom tube. It'll still move water. IMO worth a test anyway.

Yessir…that was my 1st thought. Started thinking about ways to reroute, 90’s, adapters, bla bla….then thought “why not just cap the red end and thread in a new 90 elbow for the yellow circle piece”…but I know it’ll leak lol

Wasnt there a thread on here about the '07 up piece being reproduced by motorad?

Can't you just get a longer hose and use the existing connection?

As 07 Boss says you really only have to reroute one line. Buy a 4 - 5ft section of hose that fits the smaller connection; route it and connect it. Cut it to size; put a clamp on it and you should be good.

I’ll for sure look at that option. I think the reason ON3 recommends the swap is to clear up hose clutter to make room for turbo & piping. I definitely see what you guys are saying but if I can get the way I’m wanting to do to work I think it’ll look alittle cleaner after it’s all said and done….but that’s my .02, all suggestions appreciated!!

Got the crossover modified. Turned out pretty good. $30 at machine shop. Gotta cut that piece of hose off, get the 90 barb, and see what size replace hose

If that nipple circled in red pulls out, you can seal that with a freeze plug flush with the housing. If not, you can cap it shut with a heater plug and worm clamp. I am sure there are other options too, but either way... Nice work!

The nipple circle in red was cut off, drilled out, tapped, and that hex head plug was threaded in there. Thanks, turned out pretty good I thought
