stants Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 People help me ID the hoses in this kit pleasehttp://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/popup_image.php?pID=classicturbokit.jpgI'm after some new hoses and have already found the correct I/c y pipe kit to suit the foz, so I'm looking at getting this one also, don't want to end up with duplicate hosesThanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 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.

stants Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Here's a pic of my old uk one which is now a garden ornament (so excuse the pile of scrap on top of it )[emoji4] But it shows the ally bit's the plastic y pipe connects to [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Ah that makes sense, just looking for the sf y pipe kit and it's disappeared off the website overnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Shame you're not a bit closer to me as you could've offered the sti one up to see if impreza and foz are the same dimensions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 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 !

savage bulldogs Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Im toying with the idea of a front mount lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Seems expensive Adam lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 [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 ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I just tightened it up tight enough with a rachet spanner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Instead of a fmic have you thought about a newage top mount swap ? Good for between 350-400 depending on what you go for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
