This fitting fixes that. It threads into the oil cooler port on your water pump and converts it to a clean -6AN connection, so you can run proper AN line to a custom oil cooler setup instead of working around a rubber hose that doesn't match anything else you've built. Black anodized, sealed with an O-ring, and it comes with a yellow zinc bolt so the whole thing goes together right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eStraight Or 90 Degree? Read This First\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the one thing to get right before you order, because it comes down to physical clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003estraight fitting (HYB-WPP-01-17)\u003c\/strong\u003e works on either side of the oil cooler circuit, feed or return. If you only want to buy one part number and keep it simple, this is the flexible option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e90 degree fitting\u003c\/strong\u003e only works on the return side. On the feed side it runs into the block, so it physically won't clear. Plan your routing with that in mind: if you want a 90 on the car, it goes on the return, and the feed gets a straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat This Port Actually Does\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQuick clarity, because the naming trips people up. The K20A2, K20Z1, and K20Z3 water pumps have a port that feeds your oil cooler, and despite the name, what's running through it is coolant, not oil. Your oil cooler is a heat exchanger, so coolant flows through it to pull heat out of the oil. This fitting is what connects to that circuit. Factory, it's a barbed hose connection. With this, it's -6AN.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Convert To -6AN\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo reasons, and both matter if you're building something you care about. The practical one is that AN gives you a real mechanical seal with a fitting you can take apart and reassemble without replacing anything, instead of a hose clamped over a barb that eventually weeps. The other reason is that if the rest of your build is AN, this is a mismatched piece sticking out. Converting it means your plumbing is consistent all the way through and you can route the line properly for a tucked bay instead of running a rubber hose wherever it happens to reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWorks In FWD Or RWD Swaps\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince this threads into the water pump rather than mounting to anything on the chassis, it works the same whether your engine is sitting transverse in a Civic or you've dropped it into a rear-wheel-drive conversion. Any build using one of these three engines with a custom oil cooler setup or AN plumbing can use it, and RWD swaps especially benefit since the routing flexibility of AN line helps in a bay that was never designed around this engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSealed Properly\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt seals with an O-ring, so you get a watertight connection without relying on thread sealant or a clamp holding tension on rubber. The included yellow zinc bolt handles the mounting, and the black anodized finish keeps it looking right and resists corrosion in an engine bay that sees heat and moisture constantly. Small part, but it's built like the rest of our stuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits These K-Series Engines\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n    \u003cthead\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eEngine\u003c\/th\u003e\n            \u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eOriginally Found In\u003c\/th\u003e\n            \u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eYears\u003c\/th\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/thead\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK20A2 \/ K20Z1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcura RSX Type-S\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2002-2006\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK20Z3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda Civic Si\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2006-2011\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese three engines share the water pump with the oil cooler port, so this fitting works across all of them, in the original chassis or in a swap.

Tucking a bay, building a track car, finishing a swap, or just tired of the one barbed hose that doesn't match everything else you've done, this is the piece that ties that circuit into the rest of your build. Pick the right angle for the side you're plumbing, thread it in, and run your line properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e K20A2 and K20Z1 (2002-2006 Acura RSX Type-S) and K20Z3 (2006-2011 Honda Civic Si) water pumps with the factory oil cooler port, FWD and RWD applications. \u003cstrong\u003eConverts:\u003c\/strong\u003e factory barbed hose connection to -6AN. \u003cstrong\u003eStraight (HYB-WPP-01-17):\u003c\/strong\u003e works on the feed or return side. \u003cstrong\u003e90 degree:\u003c\/strong\u003e return side only, it will contact the block on the feed side. \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e black anodized. \u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e yellow zinc bolt and O-ring for a watertight seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e2002-2006 Acura RSX Type S\u003cbr\u003e2006-2011 Honda Civic Si\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"Included\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(1) -6 AN Water Pump Port Fitting\u003cbr\u003e(1) Mounting Bolt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Hybrid Racing","offers":[{"title":"Straight","offer_id":46192975872034,"sku":"HYB-WPP-01-17","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"90 Degree","offer_id":46192975904802,"sku":"HYB-WPP-01-18","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/hybrid-racing-6-an-water-pump_y2kt.jpg?v=1786053942","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/hybrid-racing-6-an-water-pump-port-k20z3","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
