Default For those of you who have done a RX-1 install.

I have no clue where to connect this cooling line, I cant find it anywhere in the RX1 manual?

Default Re: For those of you who have done a RX-1 install.

The cooling system has a closed loop section that bypasses the radiator until the temp comes up to temp. There is a y in the system.

Out of the top of the thermostat housing into the top of the radiator. Out of radiator back to that line, I believe. Don't hold me to it, though.

Check this pic and see - you can see the line out of the bottom of the rad (just next/under the one coming out of the thermostat). I believe this goes to the point you ask about.


I've gone through my pix of my install and I can't find any good pix of where that particular line goes, but it seems like I twisted that tube so the line would go to it w/o another elbow.

Hey Opsled help!

Man... I wish I could remember!

Give Jay a call at Desert Dog Off Road. He's done quite a few RX-1/Apex installs. He'll be able to tell you.
