4G93T Silicone Radiator Hoses

[Dean]

Well, as most of you know, these are really hard to find!
I've been searching for ages and ages, and the only ones that I have ever come across are all from Malaysia.
The only problem with that is that alot of Malaysian sellers dont accept Paypal, and purchasing becomes hard unless you have a contact over there.
Anyway, with all my thick headedness and determination to find some silicone hoses for the 93T I used a little bit of trial and error and purchasing a few different types of radiator hoses, I've finally found some!
Evo 7 radiator hoses, basically bolt straight on! Same diameters etc, the top rad hose might need to be chopped a little bit, but the bottom hose is pretty much a direct fit.
Hopefully this thread is of some use to a few of you!

hey dean can we see some pics, sounds good though

 

[Dean]

Yep, here you go mate.
Here's a pic of the hoses itself. You can compare it to the shape of the standard hoses.
Also in the second pic, you can see I've got a sender in my bottom hose, however I cut the bottom hose a little bit to accommodate, therefore standard length will fit. With the top hose I haven't connected it yet, but as you can see once it's cut it should fit nicely.
The fact I've got an aftermarket radiator shouldn't be any different either as it only approx 30mm wider.

looks good mate, are you mean to have your water temp sender unit there ????

 

[Dean]

Nope. The reason i've done that is because the GSR Radiator has the sender screwed into the radiator.
As you can see though i've installed an aluminium radiator which is to fit an Evo, which doesnt have provision for the sender. Therefore i've had to install it that way in order for the thermo fans to function correctly.

could these be used on a 4g63 gsr

 

[evo-gsr]

^ No reason why not... They are VERY similar in shape.

 

[DZN60]

Thats what I thought it looked close enough

 

[Dean]

Nah, they are a little bit different in shape to the Evo 1-3 ones.
But you can easily source Evo 1-3 4g63 specific ones from anywhere.
