Jeph430 Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I am in for red! I'll just need the hoses, zip ties, and the clams for coolant lines, none for the intercooler. Let me know as soon as you get it going and I will send the $ ASAP! Thanks man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Prognar Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Great price, but as Doug said, some of us don't need the extra T-clamps. Why not just keep this for the little silicon hoses (not turbo or coolant piping stuff)?PS - down for blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slater Posted April 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Thats quite the kit there bud!My only suggestion, make the tbolts optional for those who are goign to do the RIP kit eventually, they'll end up with 2x the clamps they need ←That's a good idea. I can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachRat Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 holy crap how lazy are we?I dont mind having the big jerk kit cause I will always find uses for the extra.←I concur. God forbid a vac line gives out... Besides, I got a similar kit off eBay for MUCH cheaper, sans the letter opener, zipties and cigar cutter. And NO, it was not made by APC!!! Edit: *reads entire thread* Although putting together nice clamps would be the perk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: *reads entire thread* Although putting together nice clamps would be the perk!←HTH's line is supposed to be the best. You can read about it on their site. It's catalized with platinum, which is very expensive and very few if any other manufacturers do it with platinum. It's the reason why HTH's lines do not kink like normal silicone does.- Slater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DougK Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Slater is right. Cheap Silicone hoses are crap, they almost always implode under heat/vac, ballon under boost or kink. Hell, it happened to Justins 244ti on the Santa Cruz drive. It was hte line to his boost controller too :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying all lines but HTH are crap, but you're not dealing with a 5psi Honda here. 15-20 psi requires good hose, good clamps, and more precautions than low boost setups.Rubber and silicone gets soft when it heats up. Soft = tear, and the balloning effect just adds to the problem by weakening the line. It's just a matter of time, as seen on the stock elbows (especially the throttle body elbow).The sad thing is that quality lines are not that much more expensive. I should be able to do JUST a Stage 0 hose kit with no t-clamps for $20 shipped! That's as much if not only slightly more than a generic ebay kit I'll bet.- Slater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can add your own clamps if you want. The only clamps I would use are the Herbie clamps, but they are not available in the small size we would need. Your engine will blow to bits from too much boost long before a Zip tie gives out from too much boost.- Slater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
