Project Nissan 370Z – Keeping it cool with a CSF radiator, HPS Hoses and a Nissan Motorsports Oil Cooler

,

 

No one would spot this unless they were looking for it.

 

The CSF condenser lines plugged into the stock ones perfectly.  We removed the driver's side headlight in order to give ourselves some more room to maneuver the condenser lines in place without taking the chance of bending them.

 

 

HPS 370Z hoses, HPS 370z radiator hoses
We replaced the stock rubber hoses with these heavy duty silicone hoses from HPS.  The HPS hoses are a direct drop in part molded to the stock configuration.  They use high temp, low permeability silicone reinforced with 4 plys of polyester fabric.  These hoses can resist up to 350 degrees and are much stronger in burst than stock.  They will last about 4 times longer than stock as well, possibly the life of the car!

 

 

The HPS upper and lower replacement radiator hoses were a perfect match and fit like a glove on our VQ and new CSF radiator.
