Are the Samco Sport Hose Kits still availbe for the ITR?
IF anyone has used them let me know what you think, I would like to replace some of the hoses soon, cause they are looking kinda old and I don't feel like getting stuck anywhere...

thanks.

 

I had some when I was running the C&R radiator.

Search!
Google is so easy to use. LOL!

http://www.samcosport.com/

They're listed under Honda.

 

I saw different site that said they were no longer made for DC2 ...
Ed, did you have any problems with them or issues?

 

Is the "Samco red" the same as from our valve covers ?

 

No problems at all. I had them in blue.
Expensive though, but maybe not much more than Acura overpriced OEM.

 

At first I thought it was BS

but after actually holding these pieces in my hand and comparing them to my realdeal Samcos.... I really couldn't tell the difference....

*disclaimer* I saw these "same" OBX hoses at a local dealer about a year ago.... I do NOT know if they have changed them since then, but AT THAT time....if it wasn't for the logo...I couldn't tell the difference between the two....they felt and smelled the same.... Not sure about the ACTUAL material....

 

Ive used the samco's and they work great. they do have some available for ITR apps. contact http://www.sportcarmotion.com they are a H-T sponser and stock them

 

its a pretty close match

 

Rob, I just ordered upper and lower OBX rad hoses from a sponsor in the Per. section. $45USD plus shipping. They look great. They don't match the valve cover exactly but, hey, for 45 bucks, no complaining here

The Samco and Spoon hoses were way too much $$$ for my liking.

Haven't installed them yet though

 

Rob, just buy the Spoon hoses off of my ITR

i only see 2 hoses there, coolant travels through more than just that. if replacing, replace all, at least thats what i'm going to do if i'm ever to replace them. do they really need replacement? how can you tell and how long are they supposed to last?

 

They will need replacement over time as they age.

 

yeah.. that would make sence.. but how often for oem hoses.. if anyone has any idea on that? for that matter there are fuel and oil hoses to replace as well. (oil hoses behind the block near filter/cooler area).

 

It would all depend on the conditions that your hoses go through.

my oem hoses lasted 4 years before they finally gave and started leaking... yeah, that sucked they decided to give while i was in bumper to bumper freeway traffic on my newly rebuilt motor.

 

I use them, never had any problems. They look cool too!

PS: Mine are black.

 

AWWW SHITTTT.... Beatrush cooling plate!!!111!!!!

Aloha,
Brandon - who thinks Bbasso needs to save up to buy a plane ticket to Hawaii for a few weeks rather than buying aftermarket bling.

 

I know I gotta start saving money for the trip, but certain items need to be changed
