Has anyone fitted silicone hoses to their Evo (or Lancer?)

[JaCe]

Found this on eBay for $70aud shipped: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/MITSUBISHI-LANCE ... 1564wt_939

Look quite nice and could spice up the engine bay. Any thoughts?

Chubb and I are doing some ground work on hoses for our Lancers by Gates here in Aust...

Stay tuned

seems like replica of Billion's coolant line for the CZ4A

haha i found some red hoses today and asked the same thing

[Blakey]

why dont you just buy the ones that misihmoto make. as well as there radiator? the radiator hoses are the same from evo to standard lancer anyway arnt they?

[SIR-VRX]

The hoses are different Blake.

The part where the radiator cap is in the Evo is slightly more towards the passenger side of the car. But I think we have the provision to move outrs over as the bracket on the radiator is ready to take it. Also the lower hose appears to be different, but I can't 100% confirm nor deny that yet.

Hence why I said Chubb and I are doing ground work already for it.

He has already had discussions with Gates about it, and I am assisting with my knowledge on the matter.

[Blakey]

well, i was presuming they are the same, as mishimoto's radiator says it will fit both evo and normal lancer. as a direct bolt on. for both. so i presumed the pipes are the same seeing as i doubt they would change them,

but you may be right that they are slightly offset from the evo, it does seem feesable.

wheres a small pet pig when you need one. (cant spell the real name of it lol so i gave up)

[SIR-VRX]

The radiators are the same, yes. The mounting of such that it. The radiators are difference cooling-wise

The hoses are not (and the offset of the cap) is due to there being intercooler pipes and what not.

[SIR-VRX]

Confirming:

Lower hose of Evo X is comprised of 3 sections.
Lower hose of others is single part.

Whether or not the Evo X hose will work, with joiners obviously, I don't know. Will be one of those things you have to try and see.

[SIR-VRX]

Would be good eh

They do Evo X kits (of course)

Most Evo kits seem to have 2 piece lowers so they must be able to do away with one of them ie make one hose out of them

[Blakey]

seems like a pointless thing to make 1 hose in 3 parts, instead of jsut one.

[Chubb]

Here is the X


Here is the NA



Ours have to travel around the intake on the front of the motor where the X does not.

Also you may notice the NA pic has aftermarket hoses, these are clear plastic hoses with LED's in them from memory (do I smell rice ).

[Blakey]

its only the 2 pieces that are aftermarket, there is still piecs of his raggy cut up stock hoses lol

I think it is the whole hose you just put on, have a look.
