Hybrid Racing RBC RWD Coolant Port Adapter - K20Z3/K24A/K24Z
HYB-CPA-01-05 - Hybrid Racing RBC RWD Coolant Port Adapter - K20Z3/K24A/K24Z
Route coolant cleanly in a rear-wheel-drive K swap
Tight firewall clearance makes the factory side-exit coolant housing difficult to package in many rear-wheel-drive K-series swaps. Hybrid Racing's RWD coolant port adapter routes the outlet straight off the rear of the cylinder head, creating a compact, direct path for custom cooling-system plumbing.
The housing is fully machined from a single piece of 6061 aluminum and finished in black anodizing. Its threaded -16 ORB outlet works with the included hose-barb fitting for conventional radiator hose or with a -16 AN fitting for a complete AN-plumbed system. The heater port can retain the heater core with the supplied threaded fitting or be sealed with the included -8 ORB plug.
Rear-Exit Cooling for RWD K Swaps
- Rear-exit design improves clearance in tight rear-wheel-drive engine bays
- Retain the heater circuit or delete it using the included -8 ORB plug
- Use a conventional radiator hose or convert to -16 AN plumbing
- Fully machined internal coolant passage promotes smooth, unrestricted flow
