Engine hosing

[jezza]

I saw someones picture of there engine and it had blue hosing in it. Does anyone know who's this is and where the pic is? Been thinking of doing this and just wanna see what it looks like again.

How du mean enging housing? As in the rocker cover?

I think he means silicone hosing, as in all your engine bay piping. It's quite expensive stuff and you've got to be careful, too much of it and it'll look like some thing out of max power!

Ah hosing. Sorry i read it as housing. Yeh it's a pretty expensive mod just for looks. A full set will cost around £300. A standard engine will not benefit from the hoses either.

[jezza]

Yeah it was looking expensive. I dont think i will bother though. Cheers anyway.

How much did that set you back if you doont mind you asking?

Also was it a DIY job? If so how did you fit the silicone hosing onto the thermostat housing?

Looks good, I am just insulating my manifolds, cold feed and maybe inlets like you have done, hows the performance boost by the whole insulating and silicone hosing on the water system?
