Hey guys...

I've been able to get my hands on a good quality 4 ply silicon hose made to the same specification as samco.

I plan to fit this over the weekend together with a few other mods...






My question is am I going to have any problems fitting this under my inlet next to the power steering reservoir?

I will be removing the inlet manifold to fit.

Cheers

easy to fit with manifold in place, there are no take off for breather/DV etc though.

I know that's the whole group n setup, need to run a cath tank and dumpvalve-less...

I just think it's gonna be tight against the power steering pump :-s

Where did you get it from?

What makes you think it's group-n? It's the same as most intake pipes really.

The group n I mention is referring to the design, this hose was designed for a rally team based upon the group n hose.
The group n hoses have no outlets for breathers and dumpvalve return.

I know the hose is of top quAlity... And what the design was based.

I see Just it's the same as most silicone hoses without breathers to be honest, same as mine, minus the writing on it.

These silicone hoses aren't to be compared to the inferior ones such autobahn and eBay unbranded hoses which either dont fit or are so weak the suck themselves closed once you hit anything above 0.5bar...

Anyways back on subject does anybody see any clearance problems with the power steering pump?

Cheers

Mine is a lateral one, and doesn't suck shut at 1.7bar. I just don't understand why it's group-n? I'm not arguing or anything, just curious.

And no, there won't be any clearance problems.

Also, where did you get it from? As I'm after a new one with 76mm intake.

TinyTim

Because the company selling it say-so, so it must be true

How much did that cost if you don't mind me asking?

sp00ks

iTrader: (11)

Tinytim: as I've already stated it's based on the group n design and was specifically specially made for a rally team who intended to run their rally cars with mid-mounted Subaru engines. I know this because I have a close working relationship with the specialist hose company.... Not because they "label" it as a group n hose.

Chris. The lateral hoses are old hoses ;-) the eBay specials and autobahns I was referring too... 1.7bar I'm jealous... I'm stuck with 1.5 lol!

The retail on these hoses was around the same as the lateral hose, however I managed to get one cheaper.

I have another 5 which I can sell but these are standard inlet sizes only, not 76mm.

what sort of money are the spare hoses going for and what are you doing about the icv

sp00ks

iTrader: (11)

Probably around 100 quid...

What do you mean by the icv? Idle control valve???

You should have no problem fitting that due to having no vent valves on it .My original samco unit has 4 vent pipes coming off it and i managed to fit that comfortably without taking off the inlet manifold.I did however have to slacken off the power steering pump & move it slightly to the right to allow it access under the inlet manifold ,but you should not have this issue if the inlet manifold is already off.

It can't be group N as you aren't allowed to run induction kits in that class. It's standard air box only!

sp00ks

iTrader: (11)

whos said anything about induction kits??? it's just a reinforced silicone inlet hose runnign between the airbox and turbo....

i know of 3 rally cars who compete, which run very similar hoses (made by a well renound company)

anyways.. lets keep on subject.

thanks for letting me know about fitment... i'd best get a catch can now ;-)

midnight

iTrader: (10)

As said by op ,the induction hose does not have to run to a induction kit ,it can run to std airbox like mine below.

sp00ks

iTrader: (11)

cheers midnight ;-)

so you had no problems making your hose fit?

not looking forward to swapping over the inlet manifolds lol!!

dbay

iTrader: (21)

yes the idle control valve

i may be intrested in one of these, got an alloy intake at the moment so just seeing how intake temps go

sp00ks

iTrader: (11)

idle control valve is not affected by replacing the inlet hose :-S

the dump valve, and breather system will be...

mark@wrx

Oops, apologies for that.

Not everyone cheap silicone hose will collapse under boost..

This may collapse under boost because is no reinforced with wire.

if you can see this you can see a small k&n on my icv where is yours .if i can remember it goes to the inlet pipe

sp00ks

iTrader: (11)

Collapsing under boost is just one of the problems...
Fittment problems is a more common problem, from what I've seen people have bad to butcher the hoses as they are too long and also be breather inlets are usually poorly pressed in.

My mate bought an autobahn hose and could not get it to fit!

Idle control valve on a 99 is a different setup...
