Follow the top rad hose over to the firewall. Where they meet is a coupling that the adapter replaces.

EasyPeasy.

I have Greddy and installed mine at the Top rad hose, from Engine to Water Jacket.

Just cut the middle part, stick the adapter in, thats it.(but its a nightmare to do it with silicone hose, so take ur time)

just in case you don't know which size fits the 8's coolant hoses, you will need the 34mm (red) adaptor

first thing I would do is drain the coolant. Then take out the battery box.
