Galant VR4 - Silicone Radiator Hoses

[bazeng]

Hey guys,

Do we have these available at all?

If not, are you guys interested?
I have an opportunity to get a custom set made.
They will sell for approx $100.00 AUD..
Quality is excellent.

Let me know, because I can't seem to find any.

I used a set of samcos listed for an evo 1-3 I believe. Less than a hundred dollars US whatever the ratio is there.

Just my .02

I have a blue upper, but no idea what kind of where it's from...Gonna replace it with a black rubber w/stainless.

Are the radiator hoses from the vr4 thesame as the DOHC N/A ??

If so, i could be interested in a custom made set, depending on options/colors...

 

[bazeng]

Yes they are the same.

This will include upper and lower hoses.

They pretty much last forever!

 

our you could just use ss hose and an fittings /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

^^^What would you do for the ends to connect to the nipple(s)? Unless you have a 'hardmount' AN fitting, I think that looks lame and kind of pointless.

That would cost waaaay more than silicone hoses.

Galant VR4 hoses are the same as the 1G's

I want to know how you figure out a shopping list to do an AN fitting setup for your radiator (Along with the rest of the engine bay /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif ). Like is there an adapter for the radiator where normal hoses clamp on or is there some fab work at hand?

I too used the EVO1/3 Samcos on #1886, and they fit great.

the way i would do it is:

2 weldable an fittings ( size of thermostat gooseneck outlet and radiator outlet, have to check sizes)
2 straight -an hose ends
3' of an hose

put it together and your done.

 

[JNR]

If I were going AN route, I'd make a different thermostat housing that contained the male AN (not sure the size) and a threaded hole for the sensor...You could weld a fitting on the radiator (would need be copper), but that point, maight as well chop off the nipple and replace. Problem there is when you need a new radiator, you'll need to do that again.

 

Are these samco brand you are selling?

Their sites lists parts numbers for "galant vr4 4 cyl" as TCS329/C.

Their EVO III hose kit is listed as part number TCS126/C.

Here.

So which one to order if the evo III fits? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif I wish companies would be more specific and post pics fo each parts so I could see what I'm buying. I want a set in black.

 

[mean_green]

TCS126/C are the ones I bought for my Galant. Work good so far, Im using them with a PWR "civic" style radiator. Bought from sporthoses.com but they took forever to get to me FYI. Just under a hundred dollars I believe.

So the lower and upper hose of the EVO1-2-3 are ok?

If so, I can get them here already so it'll save me getting custom ones made...

 

[Mark]

I used gates evo 3 hoses trimmed them to make them fit. They are cheaper then silicone and work the same.

 

[524of1000]

I also used the EvoIII, a little trimming and it fit very nicely.

 

Would anyone be interested in a stainless steel upper coolant pipe group buy?

 

[bazeng]

Guys, the EVO3 stuff is too short?!?!?.. (upper hose anyway)..

Do you guys have any pics?
