Want Silicone Coolant Hoses? Step Inside

[Senkak]

I wish but not even on the radar for install.

I know you have too many projects going on.
I raced yesterday in Orlando in your favorite weather conditions.

Mine showed up today. They're purdy. Great job Tractionless1. :beer:

Got mine yesterday ! They look great ! My only concern now though is that they say 180 degrees on them . Yesterday watching my aeroforce it said coolant was 212 . Not sure how accurate that dam thing is though

I'll check with the distributor on what the 180* indication is for and post back Monday as he is out of the office until then. I didn't notice on mine just threw the box in the attic. When someone installs please get pics. top and bottom side of motor. I'd like an example from all colors. Thanks!

I got mine yesterday - THANK YOU!

Can't wait to install them - I have to wait until we close on our house 9/30 but I am going to install them shortly thereafter.

Thanks AGAIN!!!

What hose clamps are everyone planning on using? I am definatley not going to go with the stock style. And I am thinking that the cheap worm type are you too. What is the gold standard hose clamp? The T-Bolt clamps from Mishimoto or the like?

 

[rudycobra]

I have the python kit . Hopefully get to try them out soon .

GF said mine came in the mail yesterday. haven't seen them and won't until at least Nov. a pretty stoked about them tho

 

[firemanmike]

I got mine the other day and they look awesome....i'm in the same boat as some of you other guys wondering what to do for the clamps now; definitely not using stock!!!

 

[timbo3282]

I am thinking of going with the Mishimoto Stainless T-Bolt Clamps:

Mishimoto Stainless Steel T-Bolt Clamp, 2", by Mishimoto

Does anyone know if the 1.25" clamps will work on the really small hoses?

Mine were sitting on my front porch when I got home last night.

Since I ordered the only set of Yellow hoses I'll just give a little review.

They are perfect! The yellow color is a close enough match for both Zinc Yellow and Screaming Yellow that the hoses will look great in either engine compartment.

And I am in the same "don't want to use crappy clamps" boat. I'll check out the Mishimoto clamps, as well as a few others.

And for the person worried about temp ratings. The packaging says 180 degrees centigrade, which is 356 degrees F. I wonder how our cars would run with a coolant temp of 356?

Don't stress too much on the clamps guys, stock will be fine. It's the non-protected worm drive clamps where the fillets in the clamp are exposed and eat up the hose. Protected (ie wrap around) standard worm drives will be fine as well, or step up to Oetiker stepless but you need to know the exact sizes as they are not adjustible. I'll use Oetiker where I can based on the sizes I currently have and stock on the rest.

Anyone install the hoses yet? Don't forget to please post top and bottom pics. Also if you haven't left me trader feedback yet I'd greatly appreciate it. I'll return feedback to help your rating as well. :beer:

From the supplier:

185degC or 365degF is the max working temperature of these silicone hoses.


BTW here's what's in stock ready to ship now, $285 shipped CONUS. PM me.

Black – 7 kits
Blue – 5 kits
Red – 4 kits
Yellow – 1 kits

Does anyone have them installed yet?

 

[J.Bo]

Can we just get some pics of the hoses. They don't have to be installed just some good ole close up pics and full shots.
