What kits will fit a ej22t, its like they make tons of kits for ej20 and ej25, are the hose kits for ej20's the same as ej22?

like this kit.

It looks a bit different, I would really appreciate it if someone could locate me an ej22t specific kit.

Try looking for something for a GC8, as they used the same radiator and engine style. Version 1-4 wrx/sti.

so any ej20 kits or, specifically ej20 GC8, if I get an ej20 GC8 kit will I be able to use every hose?

The gc8 ej20g kit is the most similar to our cars. If the kit includes extras such as the lines for the coolant tank, those won't fit the stock ss setup. The upper and lower radiator hoses are the same, as are the heater lines though.

The newer ej20's have certain hoses routed differently, such as the upper radiator hose and the heater core line coming off the crossover pipe. I dont think they would be a direct fit without trimming or other modifications.

Let us know how the install goes. Also keep us updated on how long your kit lasts. I've thought about buying one of the Autobahn88 kits.

I will, I figured It would be worth a try vs advance auto bulk heater hose and stock radiator hoses.

UPDATEDUPDATE: The upper and lower radiator hoses fit with minor trimming, The other lines don't match up with anything whatsoever. unless someone's used a similar kit before and I'm Just an idiot...

The only hoses in THAT kit that'll fit are the radiator ones. But as I mentioned earlier,.only hoses in common between ej22 and ej20g are radiator and heater core.

There are several members on here with ej20g's, and I have no doubt you'll be able to sell the "extra" hoses. If they were black, I'd be making you an offer. ;)

I'm going to chop up the longest silicone hose in the picture for the small upper coolant line, but other than that I would sell you the remainder for like $20 if you want.
