Sakataj, I believe the reason is for Toyota wanting to share the same radiator for the same car. My understandng was that Toyota sold more of the non turbo 2JZ-GE vs the GTE. Thus, they could cut costs by using a short radiator hose for the GE motor, and for the few numbers of GTE they just used a long cross over hose. This way they could both share the same radiators instead of having to produce 2 separate radiator for the same car. They could probably save a few dollars per car. The numbers might seem slight, but when you add up how many cars they manufactured....it adds up to quite a bit.

I'm planning to build a custom radiator with the water neck on the other side(GTE side) and An-20 fittings/stainless hoses for the radiator hoses instead of the ugly rubber stock ones.
