Re: Coolant Type for Subaru EJ20 Engine Conversion

Yep that's rjes kit, the orange pipe is the fuel return by the looks of it so yeah, not ideal!!

Coolant will be VW pink stuff, which is fine.

A bit more quiet on the motorway (still do ~83 kph gps) and slightly less revvy on roundabouts and junctions in 2nd. Thanks all for your replies. What make and model? Sent f...
