Hello everyone. I bought a built Evo 9 head for my Evo 8 after having a a catastrophic engine failure leaving me to replace it. I wasn’t aware of the different way the differences when it came to how the heater core hoses. The Evo 9 cylinder head as most of you know has a line that comes off the cylinder head as pictured below. With the cylinder head I bought it has been deleted. I however need heat in my Evo so I’m going to have to find a fitting that will replace the stock one so I can have heat. Does anyone know where I can find a threaded fitting that will work for this? I was going to try Fastenal, but the guy working today didn’t seem to know much about what they carried and told me to come back at a later time. Any info would help. Thanks in advance.
I understand that you cannot slap and go with the head. It has had the mivec deletion done. I’m just looking for a place I can get a fitting that works. On the Evo 8 one of the heater core lines go to the thermostat housing and the other to the water pipe. Where do they go on the 9? One on the water pipe and where does the other go if not the cylinder head?
