[blacksfnsx]

Hey guys,

i have read a couple couple threads and want to preventively replace coolant hoses on my car- best ones to get and place to order from would be appreciated.

Thanks

I priced hoses separately (wholesale) and found the package deal at SOS to be the most economical way to go for OEM hoses.

Yeah I was thinking that was probably the best. It's funny I checked all the hoses and the only weak ones are the ones that are the 3 large ones to the side of the expansion tank. All other seem to be good. I think this is due to the amount of heat these hoses are exposed to.

Does anyone know any Acura/Honda dealers that heavily discount - I don't think I am going to get the whole kit, thanks.

get a few part numbers and use google shopping search and sort by lowest price. This will help u get an idea as to which vendor tends to have a track record of low prices.

Also, I've substituted all of the OEM hoses with this: http://www.scienceofspeed.com/products/engine_performance_products/NSX/Venair/coolant_hose_kit/

the rest where all OEM replacement.

How much of a difference is there between the SOS hose set and the more common ones found on the internet like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121174545830?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

The price difference is substation ($90 vs $360), is there some value you are getting for the vast price differential?

Many parts offer higher quality in their OEM versions than their aftermarket counterparts. Maybe not all parts, but it's true of many of them. If you want to buy aftermarket, that's up to you. I stick with OEM parts where I'm relying on them to last a long time, such as cooling system hoses.

You can get the hoses from any Acura dealer. Tim at Acura of Peoria offers some of the best discounts out there and is great to work with. Click here for coupon codes for discounts on shipping.

Yes, it's the same product.

Off the top of my head, I've saved half off dealer mark up and 25%-30% from comparing internet prices.

Thanks everyone for all the help. Has anyone used the OBX hoses that were linked on Ebay. Also what is the best way to get ahold of Tim?

 

[BATMANs]

I wonder if they are different than the ones I got from SOS or just a brand difference with the same maker.

 

[Honcho]

I'd be careful with those aftermarket hoses. Given my recent experience, the last thing you want is a coolant leak on a NSX.

 

[BATMANs]

Silicon hoses will let coolant escape more easily since the water will permeate through the walls more easily, but the flip side is that Silicon hoses then (from my experience in other cars, last the life of the car and handle higher temps.

We stock the Venair Silicone Hoses for the NSX. I'd recommend doing the Venair kit, and pair the other hoses with OEM. I have all of the venair kits in stock, ready to ship - They are a 6 Big Hose kit from the radiator back.

Just curious where you learning this information?

I wouldn't trust any obx Chinese parts on my NSX...

Samco Sport or Venair is the way to go.

I don't find any silicone hoses for a '97. Are none available?

 

[shawn110975]

all hose for all years are the same, only automatics have a few extra.

- - - Updated - - -

but SOS has the kit for all of them. I just say buy SOS and not worry that one will be coming from another warehouse, if you order from dealership

 

[RC51NSX]

Ok, but this is on the SOS site.
"This kit fits 1991-96. 1997-2005 front radiator hoses are different."
