V3/4 hose kits

Featured Replies


Blue Silicone ;) not sure mate sorry. 

 

But guess the fat one bottom right is the intercooler, the two elbow looking ones for the rad. not sure about top left. But all just a guess.

I was thinking fatter one at top turbo to I/c then the one underneath from I/c to recirc valve? Not sure about the one top right.

It's for a v3 sti so dont know if the turbo to intercooler inlet is the same diameter hose

Hoses are the same dia on v3/v4 sti, wrx and uk's , you just get a better flowing ally y pipe and red silicone hose on the sti's and tacky plastic y pipe on the wrx's and uk's .

Here's a pic of the underside of the v3/4 sti tmic I've got for sale if that helps

Cheers mate, its the red hose im after ideally as I have a forester specific y pipe kit on the Christmas/birthday list and I think it doesn't have that bit on . It was that long ago that I took the intercooler off I can't remember what's underneath looms like plastic/metal combo.

Ah that makes sense, just looking for the sf y pipe kit and it's disappeared off the website overnight

I can't see why they aren't 95% of all the bits i've had to replace or add have been identical, it was the trubo end of things i was unsure of, Theres a wrx kit that has y pipe, throttle body and another pipe but no 90 degree turbo to ic :-( thanks for the offer,

Don't suppoee I could be cheeky and ask you to measure the external diameter of the tlred hose in 1st pic ? Then if all else fails I can just buy a piece of samco hose same size and cut it to length.

I had an sti cooler off a foz available with piping for 40quid and i passed on it boo !

Tdo4 and tdo5 exits from the turbo are the same dia ,as I had both turbos connected to the red pipe .

I can measure a tdo5 exit dia which would give you the internal dia for the red hose .

But the sti tmic and red hose is wrapped up in a box ready for delivery I'm afraid

No worries mate, your knowledge as always is invaluable [emoji51] helped me out no end, I've just emailed subaru forester parts, they are just out of stock at the mo so I'll order when back in.

One last question which I think I know what you'll say, did you fit yor turbo blanket when it was all in bits or on the car ?

The outside dia of the turbo outlet is 50mm , so the inside dia of the red hose must be close to 50 mm as well [emoji6]

There's only two reasons why I didn't re fit the turbo blanket...

1 it's held on by stainless steel springs which used to"zing" a bit on idle but it might have been the position I fitted it.

2 with all the rerouting of pipes and wires I had several attempts at "mocking" everything up and .. well.. it sort of got forgot[emoji39] .

I'll probably refit it at some point and if it's still "zingy" I'll remove it again but with winter here I won't bother till spring (no pun intended)

As for helping im always happy to share what I've learnt along the way and I'm always eager to learn more myself

Im toying with the idea of a front mount lol

  • Author

Have a look over on forester.org theres a company that makes foz specific kits and you don't have to chop away at the front end as much


  • Author

Yeah they aren't cheap [emoji35]

Apparently the foz has an extra bar in the front, weather this be true I've no idea nit really looked into it

Ive got my eye on a kit.A treat for Christmas.Also I fitted that pitch mount and there is no vibration whats so ever.Engine is solid and feels great.

  • Author

[emoji1] I've just oreded a 90 degree 51mm samco elbow so at least I can take the I/c off and have a poke around and fit the pitch stop. Did you bother to torque it up or just tighten it enough ?

I just tightened it up tight enough with a rachet spanner

  • Author

Instead of a fmic have you thought about a newage top mount swap ? Good for between 350-400 depending on what you go for

Ive just bought a front mount kit
