Hi Guys

I am just trying to be pro-active on my mod curve, I just had the FVD stage 2 kit done, and the car is now feeling right. I would like you thoughts on the Samco Silicone Turbo hoses, I have seen a few different name brands out there, but these seem to be a good deal , any advise would be great, I hate spending $$ twice on the same thing.
Thanks!

 

Historically speaking, it doesnt get any better than Samco silicone hoses. In fact I am considering 'paying twice as much' by getting a set of those instead of what i currently have.

 

samco is quality stuff.

i am pushing about 500whp on the race file and the stock hoses have so far held up. no issues so far.

 

Just make sure that the hoses have a stronger connecting end than the stock hoses. When the stock hoses fail, its almost always the connection and not because of the material deteriorating.

 

I hope you all saw this post. Take note of the RSR photos.

Crazy prices for a set of rubber hoses,imho, I'm going to fab up some aluminum tubes with Wiggins clamps at the ends, now that will take care of the problem forever.,cheers, Sonny.

 

have fun when you get heat soak with all that aluminum.

theres a reason why silicone is used and it's not rubber. just to cnc/machine the hose end fittings take some time. the silicone is pre fitted and bent to the correct angles. have fun bending alu tubes. the time it will take you to fab up just the tubes will be worth more than the price of the entire si set. then you still have to machine the fittings.

 

Yeah, maybe you are right, but I'll still going to do it!, I have done it on 993TT's without any problems whatsoever., cheers, Sonny.

 

I would love to see some pics of that.

 

Why doesn't anyone do stainless steel braided hoses like the brake lines? All the guys with custom rods do stainless steel radiator hoses.

 

CHeck the prices on the wiggins clamps man... they aren't exactly cheap

 

I know, I buy them all the time!, but, it is not that much a question of cost as it is of reliability and durability, best, Sonny.

 

Photos please?

 

Your completely Contradicting yourself, are you not?

You say it's not a matter of cost, but you say crazy price for a set of hoses!!!

They are only $795 dude, think yourself lucky, Porsche parts for you guys are rediculously cheap in the US, infact I have noticed sometimes nearly half price compaired to what we pay here!
