Has anyone seen stainless braided hose anywhere premade for our cars? This would make the engine compartment look loads better.

 

i just purchased them but am waitng til spring to install them they were $50. pep boys has them. they are not complete hoses though. they just slide over the existing hose to spruce up the look. i saw a pic on here from MTAS. he has them on his car. they look great

 

don't forget pics when you install

 

'nough "said"

Thanks

 

Mine are from Pep Boys as well



The aren't the ones that go over your stock hoses, these replace the stockers. I don't have the patience to even attempt the slip-on ones

 

that is the look I want!!That cover rocks
:worship:

 

Since this obviously too much to ask of someone who might already done this. I took it off.

 

ummmm, measure them yourself?

You could either wrap some string around the rubber hose to find the circumference (do that old pi thing to find diameter) or you could just use a tape measure and eye ball it.

Gee thanks Dan

 

Circumference/3.14 = Diameter

(I think )

 

I'm hoping someone comes out with a full kit like this for the 05 Mustangs. I could do it myself, but it's such a pain I'd rather pay someone an extra $100 to do it for me.

 

does this interest go as far to replace the radiator hoses too? I have found that those larger diameter hoses really dont take away from the look under the hood, I barely notice they are even there.

I could offer some full steel braided hose replacements of the stock rubber or plastic pieces, cut to ~exact lengths and also provide the aluminum ends.

I can even put together an upgraded full line kit for those interested too. Im set to provide whatever really since Im used to the business thing.

The look under my hood has changed since my above picture but its still not done. I've "upgraded" my nitrous/fuel delivery system to better suit my needs.

Dan, can we see a pic of what you have now? Thanks

 

I didn't like the idea of buying those hoses, and then additional chrome ends. My cousin works at a hydraulic shop so i'm going to have him see if he can make me my hoses himself.

 

If anybody is interested in full replacement "dress up hose kits" let me know, I can see what I can do for ya.

Aluminum Hose Ends are available in Anodized Red, Blue and Chrome. The Hoses are cut to exact lengths to replace #1 and #2, I can provide replacements for others too if ya want.

Anyways, this is a work in progress pic for the redesign of the fuel and nitrous delivery system. The last 2 distribution blocks should arrive on Tuesday and I'll get an finalized pic posted by the end of the week.





Hopefully I get a Plenum Cover for Christmas to really set off the whole underhood look.

I am interested in a kit.

 

Also how hard was the fuel rail set up? Hw much for the hole setup?

 

The hardest part for me (in the whole fuel system upgrade) was finding something that would adapt to the stock hard steel fuel line and be leak free. Installing the CPR fuel rail was a piece of cake, having the correctly sized plugs and fittings was a plus too.

BTW, the cost for just the fuel rail is $366 by MSRP. If I were to chat with CPR I could probably play with the pricing a bit and supply the correct size fittings for our applications to save you folks a few bucks more.

I've been driving with the stock fuel line adapter in place for several thousand miles now and no issues have ever existed. I did my homework on this cause its crucial not to have a gas leak in the engine bay. :duh:

Im not quite sure on what you folks would want in terms of an upgraded fuel hose from the hard line to the rail. An inline adapter can be used to provide a 1/8" npt port for fuel pressure or for "wet" nitrous system use. The hose routing is a different story. The line can be easily routed, like mine, around the driverside strut tower and split using a distribution block or can run the same length as the stock hard rubber hose. The Y-block I use also provides a healthy fuel supply to a 1/8" npt port (my block is mounted upside down).

Share some of your ideas with me and I can accomidate.

The work is coming along slowly but Im all ready for when the distribution blocks show up so everything can be leak tested. I updated the driverside angled pic from above but I have also posted it below.
