Any one used the cheap silcone coolant kits on eBay are they any good

 

Examples?

I had a set of Autobahn88 hoses in the engine bay of my last Impreza. 8 hose coolant kit for £50 and were pretty good. Also picked up the Prodrive intercooler kit off here for about £45 new, bargain of the day

 

some are ok but some are crap some people had problems with some crushing when when tuning when i buy my hoses for my impreza im using artelmotorsport again just used them for my 200 great service and ok not cheapest but still great

 

There's a company called viper they are ok if they do the kits

 

so are the autobahn 88's any good then ?

 

im think they are as i have seen a few front mounts and a few other bits

i was thing of getting a blue set if i could find a cheap/good set for my00

 

there good as long as you get the genuine one there are alot of fakes on ebay from china and other places try and stick to uk sellers

 

Aye, not the same quality as Samco but a lot cheaper for not much difference.

 

Can vouch for Artel hoses, I buy from thousands a year from them, as a supplier in work and their quality is bang on, not the cheapest but you would go along way to beat them

i know japspeed have a good reputation , they have a good selection of hoses at good prices imo

 

good cause some autobahn88 header tank hoses arrived today little job for sat.

 

Anyone know the cost of a full set of worthwhile upgraded hoses to samco? And what brands are available and where to buy? These are on my shopping list, haven't started looking, this thread just reminded me

 

Hi Rez for full set of Samco will be expensive(just induction silicone hose is £250),due this you can have look for Autobahn88,SFS,Viper,Japspeed don't have tested(you will need ask people here about these silicone hoses).
Where to best buy,check as normal eBay/Google is your best friend.
Silicone Induction hose is probably best option for you at start and heater hoses are just for "bling"/show effect(no performance at all,no power gain)

Used these hoses on my Nissan S15 and had no probs at all

As with all purchasing on eBay, do your homework and check feedback (especially for items specific to your car if poss)

I have had some real bargains
