2G Eagle Talon Tsi 1997 New Hose Kit? Where To Find?

[FredRider]

I need to replace all my hoses since they've been there since the factory I'm assuming. They are starting to finally show wear and some minor tear and was wondering where I could buy a kit or something like that, maybe on amazon or something I did see in a thread someone mentioning this website http://www.roadraceengineering.com/nwdsm_larsonhosehasitsownpagenow.htm I don't know how trustworthy it is.

The larson hose kit is probably long gone as that was a product sold more than 20 years ago. Hoses are simple items and are not proprietary. Any vacuum hose will work just sized properly. Larger coolant hoses are produced and sold OEM style at any auto parts store or in pretty colors at likely any vendor. Check the vendor list on this site.

Ok thank you! So do you think I could just go to my local auto store and ask for vacuum hoses and they should have some?

I just did this for my 1G. I ordered vacuum hose in both 3mm and 4mm from Summit Racing, 10 foot lengths. Spring clamps from McMaster Carr. I got the water hoses in a kit on Ebay - . $50 for silicone hoses. The radiator hoses look good, and the short elbows should work fine. The heater hoses I'm not so sure about, doesn't quite match... we'll see when I put them on. Brand wise, the Ebay set was "G-Plus" and I saw the same brand at my mechanics/machinist, so they can't be that bad. The Ebay seller was 'Ultraspeed'. I'm sure there's others. Just one thing: the hose clamps that come with the kit are laughably bad. You'll need to source your own good stainless hose clamps.

Yes. They carry hose.

Could you link the hoses you bought? Do you also think that the vacuum hoses that you bought would fit in my 2G?

Good thing I have a napa store in my town. I'll go today and see what I find. How would I even come across with asking them for changing all of my hoses for my car? Would I say it just like that?

You'll need to assess how much hose of each size you'll need. Here's a link to the 10 foot section of 3mm I used:

Pardon Our Interruption

There are other colors, sizes, and lengths. You'll likely need 3mm, 4mm, 6mm, and a little bit of 10mm. I think. I don't have a 2G. The kits give you a selection, but might not have everything. The individual lengths are way more than you need in the 6mm and 10mm, so that's expensive. You can buy it by the foot for an even more outrageous price. You gotta do some homework.

Here's a kit on Ebay that might fit, and includes some vacuum hose.

About vacuum hose. 1 Set Silicone Radiator Hose. Silicone Hoses |. This kit made of premium quality silicone, wall thickness is 0.12” or 3mm. Working temperature between -40°C to 220°C (428F). Made of High Quality Silicone.

That's not a recommendation, I just picked one.

I'm doubtful you'll find anyone that knows exactly what sizes and lengths you need. You'll need to measure your own vacuum hoses and estimate total length of each size, and then round up.

When I was shopping it looked like the Larsen Kit was still available, just in Black only, Henry Ford style.

Yeah, I'll give the Larson Kit a call and try to get into contact with them to see if they still sell those. Thanks for everything though!

I think you're way over thinking thus. It's simple hose. Sold by the foot or in short lengths or whole rolls if you like. I just do simple black on my cars. I stock 50 ft rolls in my cabinet. I'm not suggesting that, only saying that this is a simple thing. You ask them for vacuum hose and tell them what size and how many feet you want. Sometimes it's cheaper in 5 or 10 ft lengths. Other application specific items you ask for. Radiator hose, heater hose etc. The other molded hose for turbo feed etc may be proprietary or you have to find something that works. A 91 up turbo dsm has 8 coolant hoses if memory serves. Upper and lower radiator. 2 heater hoses. Throttle body fiav in and out. Turbo feed and oil cooler.
