NOS or Stainless steel coolant lines

[Srt6]

Is there a reason why silicon hose couldn't be used instead of the stainless steel lines? The radiator hoses aren't stainless steel

I think it has to do with the lines being so close to the turbo....heat.

There is no reason you can't use hoses as long as you make provisions to keep them away from the turbine and exhaust manifold heat. Over time, the hose will cook, harden and crack if not shielded.

Any progress on replacement lines?

I was having 10 sets made from a Place in Michigan. I sent him pics and a nos set of lines. He said he could make them. Nine months later I told him to send me what he had. I got back 10 sets of stainless tubes not bent correctly and unfinished. I paid up front so I have some scrap metal unless you want to try and finish what I have.

I used http://scrprecision.com. I sent them my coolant tubes and they made me a set in stainless steel. It took them about two weeks and they did a great job.

Nice Chad. How much did they charge if you don't mind me asking?

Did they fit OK and did you find the correct rubber hoses to go with them?

I wonder if they used CNC and kept the template so that they could make more lines?
