Hi,

I installed the Spearco FMIC and it seems I'm the only one who has a coolant device down there which causes an installation issue with the FMIC outlet pipe I solved by cutting it. The FMIC works perfect but I will install new silicone hoses and t-bold clamps due to the FMIC outlet pipe cutting. Is it possible to bend boost silicone hoses to my needs and if so, how do do it ( DIY preferred ) ?

Thanks,
Eugen

I dont think so Eugen.........they are preformed if i'm not mistaken, they have metal ribbing inside from the ones I have played with.

I'm sure you can source one off the net somewhere, just measure carefully.

First off all make sure that you are using the right silicone Hose i would suggest that you use Platinum cured silicone hoses the advantage of platinum cured is the reduction of residue leftover from the curing process, a lower potential for leachables, chemical and oil resistant, and a smooth surface inside which is important for the flow rate.

Platinum Cured Hoses also withstands temperatures from –100°F (-73°C) to 400°F (204°C).

Bending:

typical a silicone hose i not recommended to be bend thats why carmanufacturer usually by custom made hoses for each individual application.

Hope this helps

Thanks. I wanted to avoid another cutting of the FMIC outlet pipe cause cutting and cleaning the FMIC is a PITA. You work behind the air-filter there and any debris will see the engine and probably the turbos. Once I will get my parts ordered, I'll make pictures of the problem and the solution in case we will have a second similar issue.

Cheers,
Eugen

Thank you for your feedback. I will use quality hoses from siliconhoses.com and turbonetics t-bold clamps. I heated up a test hose up to 650degC / 1200 degF using a hot-air gun and I have been able to bend it minimal but far away from my needs. The quality of the hose should not be impacted. I guess I have to cut the FMIC outlet-pipe once again and use a 45 degree elbow.
