Hi All,

Next job for the Sapph for me is to get the hoses replaced with Silicone ones - have looked at the usual Samco and SFS, which seem quite dear for a full set but have also seen a lot of 'Mishimoto' ones appearing on ebay - has anyone got any of seen any and know if they're any good ?

I assume they're just copies, prob Chinese or from somewhere else in the world but just wondered if anyone has any views on them ? They seem quite a bit cheaper so might give them a go I reckon

Go for Roose motorsport ones, you won't get much better than them

I have some 4x4 hoses somewhere in garage I could have a look and see what I have if you want water hoses.

denniswynott

Do you know what the prices are like ? Samco want £420 for the full set!

denniswynott

As long as I can get the rest to match ? I want to do the whole lot !

I've got samcos on mine, doing a nice job. Bloody pricey but I've seen more expensive pipes going for sale at the main dealers i work in. £70 plus vat for a single coolant hose I fitted yesterday to a shogun!

denniswynott

Roose are a fiver cheaper so I've found out today... but you get an additional PAS pipe too apparently !

For the sake of a fiver, I'll prob stick to the Samco's then !..

I used a full set on my 3dr from MSD, they are a lot cheaper and fit perfect.

I paid £440 for a full set of samco's and still had to pay extra for the turbo return and power steering pipe, plus a couple of straight lengths

Wasn't 100% keen on them at first but really like them now they are fitted

denniswynott

Thanks, will do !
Thickie question coming up ! - which dump valve do I order ? A twin piston one I assume ? But a 25mm or 33mm ?

James @ M Developments.

iTrader: (2)

cossie will be 25mm, twin piston ones work well on them

denniswynott

Thanks James. Do I have to order a fitting kit for it too as there's no mention on your website ?

Can I have an idiots guide to how to fit it as well please ! With pics !

James @ M Developments.

iTrader: (2)

won't need a fitting kit with the hoses as they have the tee fitted already, so just put the dumper in the hose and connect the reference hose to the inlet manifold behind the throttle

denniswynott

Ok.. but won't I need the thin rubber hose that connects to the top of the DV ?

James @ M Developments.

iTrader: (2)

yes just vacuum line, if the car is std then it will have a dumper on the hot side of the cooler, so the hose feeding that can be used unless you want to buy coloured 3.0-3.2mm hose.

denniswynott

I'll give you a bell tomorrow or Thursday if that's okay - but yes, will want a colour coded but of pipe too !
