Turbo Coolant Hose Replacement

[SparxFury]

Hi Guys,

First post here.

I have spent the day trying to buy a Turbo Coolant Hose online and cannot find the damn thing....

I have attached a diagram from the Hyanes manual indicating where it is.

1999 GSX Eclipse - Injen Turbo

I need the specs for the Turbo Coolant Hoses (size, shape, length etc)

Can anyone point me to some info about these hoses??

One of them cracked and leaked coolant everywhere. I cut off about an inch and reattached but I can see it is failing.

Thanks in advance for any help

I don't know the specs but just take the bad one into your nearest part store and get hose of that size...

I do that for most all of my hoses and they usually have one there that will work or they will cut some hose that has the same type of bend/shape for me.

Other than really specific hoses (upper and lower rad for example) this is probably the best strategy.

I got my replacments from mitsubishiparts.com. Didn't have any problem looking them up and finding them either. I'll try to post you part numbers and link in a minute, that way you can just look it up easy! This should be it took me all of 10sec to find! Lol its called turbo feed and return hose. http://www.mitsubishiparts.com/oe_parts_catalog.html?Year=&make=&catalogid=1. Just look up your year and go to cooling system. Then cooling in the drop down menu, then radiator and components, then click on return hose and open the diagram. And it will be number 22 and 25. They cost $7.55 and $5.06!

A cheap quick fix o suggest is that you use a line flaring tool and flare both metal ends and then connect the two using the appropriate size heater hose and clamps

Why would he need to do that? The metal lines already have beads/flare on them for the hoses and clamps! He's just looking for the replacement lines. Because as he said one has failed and he did a quick fix. Now he's looking for the replacement lines so he can avoid another blow out! Make sense now!

You bought it in a 711 parking lot? Lol

Thanks for all the feedback guys. The parts site is really helpful. Looks like buying some 3/8 pipe and having the shop cut it and replace is the easiest path. No special curved pipe is required for these coolant pipes as I first thought.
