Coming soon.... Silicone Hose Kits

We have worked with Venair USA in the past and have had great results with their silicone hose kits and have just sent off a set of OEM rubber hoses off to have them replicated in silicone. This will include the radiator and heater hose sections.







Advantages of Silicone Hoses:

  • Venair Silicone hoses can withstand far higher & lower temperatures than the standard EPDM rubber hoses commonly found in OEM engines.
  • Silicone hoses are the preferred choice for motorsports teams and enthusiasts alike because of their increased durability and performance and their amazing high gloss finish that is available in a variety of colors.
  • Silicone is ideal for water, forced air applications, induction joints, dump valves, air lines and many other uses and industrial applications. In addition, it is suitable for all coolant hoses, washer tubes, air hoses, vacuum hoses, water hoses and more.
  • Typical color choices are Black, Red, and Blue


We will post a link to the for sale thread when these become available!


Thanks
Dustin

Any possibility of a hose to replace the rubber hose from the throttle body to the stock airbox?

I am away from the shop and vehicle but unless I am missing something simple... there isn't a hose from the TB to the stock air box. There is a hose running from the crank case vent to the intake just right before the TB, is that what you are referring to? That hose, while molded from the factory would be easy to replicate in a non molded silicone hose of your color. I do not believe it changes sizes from the intake to the crank case vent but can verify on Monday.

I think he's asking about the intake hose.. The large diameter plastic tube, not so much "hose"

Waiting for you to finalize your set!

BTW, could you let me know the diameter of the coolant hose coming to the radiator?

This is the place where the temp sender will live

Anyone know for sure what size heater hoses are on the FRS heater core? 1/2" or 5/8".

Venair are definitely good but too expensive, I would wait until a competitor comes along with a similar product and see then how the pricing stacks up

I'm surprised nobody has asked how much weight these hoses are going to save...
