Default FAST 102 Install... Coolant lines????

Installed the FAST LSX R 102 this weekend. The crossover pipe that goes from one bank to the other does not fit as the throttle body opening is in the way. It came with little block offs for either end But what have people been doing with the hose coming from the radiator? I assume just block it off with a bolt and a clamp. But I'm not a fan of that idea.

I ran the hose from the upper passenger port of the radiator, under the plastic radiator shroud, and across to the driver side port. I used a 3/8 extension, and put the male end against the coolant crossover pipe under the throttle body, and gently tapped it to form it down. I believe I also ground a hair off the bottom of the intake at the throttle body opening.

Hmm, Darn I already put the intake on and tightened it down. I doubt I could bend that pipe off the car and then get it to slide under. I'd rather go that route. Anyone Make a different pipe? I suppose I Could drill the block offs and put a nipple on

You can buy the aftermarket kits with the braided line. It's a little expensive, but cleans it up nice.

Ok, I think the plan of attack will be to Drill the block offs and tap em for a 1/8npt. Then put a couple of -3an fittings in to those to a -3an tee and a -3an female to hose barb.
