Definately sure that the EK/DC2 radiator hose diameters are 32mm; as compared to the 28mm in the EGs.
During my EG + B18C conversion, the EG5 radiator was retained for a few weeks. B18C radiator hose was slightly larger fit on the EG5 radiator which caused it bulge up and slightly leak coolant! Scary sh*t when it's under immense pressure at temperature! Could have been bye bye engine *phew*

Recap (to my knowledge):

EG5 = 28mm.

EK4 = 32mm.

DC2 = 32mm.

Hope that helps.

Hope that helps. :thumbsup:
