Rebuild/swap

[ts_MKIII]

So ive decided to go ahead and start the progress on the upcoming of my car.

So im going to start with basic maintanence items, so far im getting a built motor, new clutch, new fuel pump new fuel filter, new intake and new intercooler and piping(hopefully).

Now when i swap in the motor i want to do all the preventive and maintenence applications first, beucase i do know for a fact that i will be modding and all i want is a 400-450 goal.

So what should i replace to insure that everything will work ok.

EX:fuel pump hose lines etc all advice will be very much appreciated and all thoughts and concerns are welcome.

Also all opinoins and recomendations are encouraged, i want every ones opinoin about what they like what i should use etc.

I really appreciate all help and thought, thanks alot.

I would do a search but i have 2 full time jobs and go to school so i rarely have time for my self.

If it's rubber, replace it. All coolant lines, oil lines, fuel lines, gaskets, etc. Upgraded radiator, new water pump, thermostat are also good ideas.

which hoses can i replace with the silicone hoses?

 

[Bishop92t]

It will be hard to find silicone hoses that have the correct bends for most of the lines on the car. Personally I wouldn't worry about silicone for those lines anyway. Just get silicone for the intercooler hoses, use stock rubber for the coolant, oil and fuel.

can i go somewhere like pepboys or advance auto parts to find these hoses, cuz i dont wanna get raped at the dealership!

haha

You could, most of those hoses they will sell. You won't save that much money over Jeff Watson's prices and they probably won't fit as well as stock.

LOL my take on T Stats are they're a very simple device that performs an important job and either work or don't work!

I can't see any reason to "Hi Flo" one rendering it useless, may as well buy a Moroso Racing restrictor kit and piss the T Stat off altogether and let the motor suffer
