Who has installed Samco hoses themselves, difficulty?
 
I can't find a write up on it either, just want to know where all these hoses go.
Thanks

Simple enough
 
take out your old hoses one by one and replace as needed.

I hope you purchased some clamps

DM-S4 06-03-2004 02:38 PM

I've got the clamps, are there any of these hoses that are hard to get to?
 
Is it worth it to pay someone $170 to install them all.

depends on how much time you have to kill. the hoses that go on the turbos are alittle hard to get

Vtec_Killer 06-03-2004 02:47 PM

Lord no! Just do some clamps one day and more the next...so on.
 
When you take the belly cover off, you can see a majority of where the hoses will go. Some are a PITA though.

the real question is, are the samco hoses worth it?
 
I have the complete set in red. I think I ended up taking all of them off except the f-hose now. They flex a bit too much and don't work with RS4 inlets, the bi-pipe and intercoolers. Not worth it for me.

agreed...I had full black kit on and now only have the TBB on. After getting the FMIC

Don't tell me that! I just ordered a set for my KO4 conversion.......
 
I also have the APR Bi-Pipe, but I'm using the stock I/C's. What happened, are the hoses blowing off under boost? If not the Samco hoses, what high pressure hoses are we supposed to use??

Are there Samco hoses for RS4 ICs?

Chaka 06-03-2004 03:22 PM

are your stock hoses blowing off?
 
If so its a problem with the clamps not the hoses. There is NO need for these hoses other than esthetics. I admit I wanted some bling under the hood but after seeing the upper inlet pipe hose being bent and crushed that caused restrictions, I started taking them off.
