Hey guys, just about finished my 22r - re conversion and I am chasing one thing. Problem is the 22re was so rare in Australia I can't find it, even if a wrecker has an re they don't want to seperate the EFI gear.

I am chasing what I think is called the #1 bypass hose (metal pipe outlet from the back of the water pump) and the two hoses that go up to the intake and the water temp sensor housing. Picture explains better than I can....



These engines are much more common over there so It shouldnt be hard to find the items at a junker. If you can find the items PM me a quote and we will go from there. I would just get them from the dealer here but they want over $100 bucks just for a pipe and 2 hoses ex japan.

What really gets me is that the pipe is identical as the carb version except the little second output that goes to the intake. I though about modifying my carb one but wouldn't know where to start.

 

do you have access to a welder? you could fab them and the hoses are generic when i replaced mine i brought in the old hose to the auto parts store and found one that was similar clamped it up works perfect. If you get the hoses to match up maybe you could just purchase the metal tube separately.

 

Yeah I have a MIG...wasn't to sure what material or thickness the metal is to play with it however. I am also not sure what size the smaller outlet is, I was thinking about using some brake line, it looks pretty similar in size...

If I can get it for under 50 bucks (surely wrekcers couldnt want to much for it) I couldn't be bothered with it...I really hate small tedious stuff.
