Is there a actual kit for the Integra. I'm not talking about the hoses that just goes over the stock ones. Is there a actual kit out there for our cars. And most importantly does it work and is it worth it?

 

sorry no idea

 

I just cant get myself to spend $300+ on the spoon/samco radiator hoses. Wonder is there another alternative thats all.

 

I'm thinking about doing this on my car.

I don't understand what help braided rad hoses could really provide. I do realize that an increase in x amount of pressure lowers the boiling point of water and theoretically thats why the spoon rad cap and possibly the hoses allow you to run cooler...but I would suggest saving your money...

Taking steel braided hose and using standard hose clamps to hold them on pretty much defeats the purpose of going to AN fittings and braided hose.

Now lets assume you took an all aluminum radiator and had an AN thread welded on, then even got that done to the thermostat housing and water neck on the head..... You would still pay over 50 bux per AN fitting and you need 4. Then you still need to buy the hose.

Spoon hoses are overpriced at 250-300. But Samco hoses are of equal or better quality and you can get them for just a hair over 100 bux in most cases.

Just for reference, you can get a pair of stock hoses for under 30 bux.
