d.p Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 They look like they are. 240z listed as INNER DIAMETER: 1.38" OUTER DIAMETER: 1.73" but not sure what l16 is. Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Hey dp... mine were 1.375 id.... why are you trying to use 240z hoses? They look alittle different in shape... Ones for the l16 are available? Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Sadly rockauto has the cheapest prices But also available at the parts stores.. maybe not the same brand Gates 20776 upper.. Gates 20779 lower.. Dayco brand at autozone... 10 each 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Only because they sell some cool silicone mashimoto ones for z's...trying to dress up my engine bay. Not much out there fr 521s :( Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Got you... well as I said mine were 1.375 or 35mm on the i'd.... just try and eye the shape.... you have you old for comparison.... as long as it the correct id and can connect a to b you can make it work.... 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Maybe try looking for some 510 coolant hoses.... they have to same part number as our on rockauto..... Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Ya 510 search is gonna be what you wanna do.. I just found some like I think your looking for.... right shape... but i would make sure the inside diameter is right... should be... but the ones I saw were saying ka24 swap so maybe some one can verify those are also 1.375 id....

flatcat19 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 You'll never get those silicone hoses to seal without bending/breaking bits that are getting harder to find every day. There is zero benefit other than looks. New rubber hoses and proper hose clamps look just as good. Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Obviously purely cosmetic and I am ok with that. Just not much out there for L16 engine bays. 1 Quote Link to comment
Doctor510 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Get a braided stainless kit, it makes the hoses look custom. The Z hoses are the same diameter but TOTALLY different shape and will not fit. 2 Quote Link to comment
