If you're tucking a bay, moving to AN plumbing, or just tired of looking at the stock piece, this coolant port adapter replaces it with something compact and machined that puts you in control of where your hoses go. It's cut from a single piece of 6061 aluminum, finished in black anodize, and it gives you a -16 ORB outlet you can run either way, factory-style radiator hose or full AN.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFWD Applications, RWD Has Its Own Version\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCheck this first. This adapter is built for front-wheel-drive applications. If you're putting one of these engines into a rear-wheel-drive swap, the coolant routing is different and we make a separate adapter for RWD. Grab the right one for your layout so you're not fighting hose angles that were never going to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKeep Your Heater Or Do A Clean Heater Delete\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the decision most people are weighing, and the adapter handles both without you buying a different part. There's an additional heater port you configure at install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeeping the heater?\u003c\/strong\u003e Use the supplied threaded fitting and your factory heater core stays connected and working. If you daily the car or live somewhere with real winters, go this route. There's no performance penalty for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoing a heater delete?\u003c\/strong\u003e Cap the port with the included -8 ORB plug and you're done. Cleaner bay, fewer hoses, one less thing to leak. That's the move for a track car or a dedicated build where the heater circuit is just dead weight taking up space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth options ship in the box, so you decide with the parts in your hands rather than at checkout, and you can change your mind later if the car's purpose changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eRun Factory Hoses Or Go Full AN\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe outlet is a threaded -16 ORB, and that's what makes this flexible. Use the included -16AN to hose barb adapter and you're running standard factory-style radiator hoses, no fuss.

The internal coolant passage is fully machined rather than left as-cast, so coolant moves through the housing smoothly instead of hitting rough surfaces and restrictions. That matters, because a cooling part that looks great and flows poorly is a bad trade on a car you actually drive hard. You get the compact, clean appearance without giving anything up on the cooling side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's In The Kit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEverything you need to install it, nothing to source separately:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBillet coolant port adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStamped steel gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e-8 ORB plug (for heater delete)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThreaded heater hose fitting (to retain the heater)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e-16 ORB to hose barb radiator fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits These RBC-Head 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\"\u003eVehicle\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\u003eK20Z3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda Civic Si\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2006-2011\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK24A2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcura TSX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2004-2008\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK24A4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda Accord \/ Element\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccord 2003-2005, Element 2003-2006\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK24A8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda Accord \/ Element\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccord 2006-2007, Element 2007-2011\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK24Z7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda Civic Si \/ Acura ILX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSi 2012-2015, ILX 2013-2015\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also fits these engines in swaps, since it mounts to the head rather than the chassis.
