    Hahn hose upgrade,
    During my Hahn install with the advice from a Fun and Sun loving dude we up graded the rubber hose supplied in the kit that runs from the turbo housing to the waste gate. If this hose were to fail the waste gate would loose the pressure signal from turbo and boost could climb to a range where engine parts make bad noises. The hose I used is a -4 or 1/4" Teflon lined Stainless Steel branded hose with -4 or 1/4" female JIC fittings in both ends. The adaptors needed are 1/8npt to 1/4 Jic, one is a 90 degree fitting on waste gate and a 45 degree on the turbo housing. The Teflon hose has the -4 fitting crimped on each end and is 14 inches in length. FYI do not over bend this hose as the Teflon inner hose will crimp over and break. This style of hose is good for high temps but is also an expensive hose. Any local hydraulic hose shop will be able to make this hose and have the adaptors needed. Also Noel at Cycle Springs is stocking the hose. I also upgraded the hose on the BOV for looks and plan and doing the AEM gauge line next.

  • Radiator shroud install options

    The Radiator shroud is not for engine cooling its to direct hot air coming off cooling system away from engine and firewall, reducing heat soak and cockpit temps. The shroud does not affect air coming into rad only redirecting it coming out, this could cause some additional resistance turning air flow 90 degrees down but that would not be an issue with fan on pulling/pushing air out. If my fan runs a little more often and my block is cooling and and petals and toes are cooler it's a win/win.

    Quote from funinthesun

    If you add head studs and the proper tune (and watch the a/f when under boost) you should (no guarantees here, just saying) should be able to handle 12 pounds safely. But as with all things in life, do so at your own risk.

  • Radiator shroud install options

    After spending some time in traffic this weekend with warm temps and my fan kicking in there was a noticeable difference in lower cockpit temps. I have seen some discussion on other forums about higher water or oil temps ? I do not have separate gauges. Hot air coming thru the rad being forced down vs heat socking the engine and firewall has to Help lower cockpit temps. :00007505::00007579:
