radiator hoses

[shuggy]

i have just aquired a siggy radiator , and i was about to put it on my galant today and realised if i did the hoses wouldnt reach..

anyone know what hose will fit G32b to siggy radiator??

[tango76hardtop]

have you tried using the siggy hoses and see if they line up, i might have some spare siggy ones lying around you can have

[shuggy]

problem is they are for 4g54 with different hose outlets.
might go see a shop today n see if i can get a hose for siggy with 4g32.

try the hoses from I.6 litre sigmas

[shuggy]

the bottom hose is the same and the top hose is too straight..
gonna have to get that flexi hose i think. or might just cut n stick in 90 degree angles with hose clamps.. il work it out tomoro..

if anyone wants to know the hoses that match for a siggy radiator onto a 1.6 G32B belt drive engine into a galant here you go.

top hose is a 'bottom hose nissan 720 pick up 1980 onward'
aka CH1489

bottom is
'bottom hose ford maverick diesel, nissan patrol diesel 1988-90'
aka CH1489

fits perfectly with a tiny bit trimmed off the engine side of the top hose and some slight stretching of the bottom hose, you will need the longest possible fan belt so that your alternator sits low though or it wont fit

yes that means i fit the new radiator today

on the subject of radiator hoses, I went to Repco today to get top and bottom hoses and a fan belt.

No change out of $50.00

Sometimes I am glad I dont have air and p/s.

Just went outside and checked our sigma up the back sigma hoses are short compaired to a galant or lancer galants are long as with lancer's . On my lancer i am using a magna top hose from a TR as there come as one piece or two piece no mod req i only use the rear hose from the TR two piece set up as i run twin carbs and that rear hose is set up at the right angles

should have gone to Autobarn I posted their prices on one of the SG forums dunno if the info is still about?

[kirkstanton]

the fan won't touch the hose? when you say "biggest fan belt" how big exactly?

thanks,
kirk

unsure, was just so that the alternator left room to attach the hose, and my fan is trimmed down to about 10 inches haha

FWIW, when I had a larger alternator fitted to my GB the auto-sparkies told me they needed to fit a Sigma lower hose to clear the alternator.

I had to add a protective sleeve to the Sigma hose to stop it wearing through on the alternator mounting bracket.
