Hose #3 was a hard one for me to take off and put on. it I had a LOT of trouble with hose #6 as well. I think it would be good to show some tricks on how to fit these hoses on. I notice that there was just an assumption that it would go on or "this will be a tight fit." It would be good to show HOW to deal with the tight fit as well (i.e. mechanics pick, heat, etc.).
Thanks! It was a great video. I figured out that once I took the air filter off (as you recommended in the video) I could get to hose #3 easier. I finally got #6 on as well.
@@TimFleisher installing this right now, can you explain where hose #3 goes? Mine was detached at the bottom (probably why i'm doing this whole project).
ya I second Wankelcrazy..whats up with the hose that has the label for the non-return valve? I like the hoses but the box is like a huge guessing game..some kind of diagram would be nice to aid in installation Mishimoto!
Not a bad idea Justin! I'll mention this to our video team for the future if the plan to reshoot/edit this video. In the meantime, feel free to contact our customer support with any questions! support@mishimoto.com or call 1-877-GOMISHI!
I agree with Andy a lot of stuu was left out , and it was only the more complex steps. There is no way to get the hose from the intercooler to the top of the block off without cutting the OEM hose or taking the fuel rails out.... Honestly looks like laziness since there's no way he could have done that install that smooth
I also agree with Andy. Hoses that are too short and hoses that are too narrow are included in this kit. However, I'm sure the Samco kit has the same problems. To imitate this install video..."Obviously creating a well-fitted product was not on Mishimoto's top priority list." If you call and ask for a better hose 6, they will send you a straight hose, not a 90 degree elbow...I don't think I will bother asking for a hose 5 that fits, it will probably be another straight hose that will just kink.
Man you guys sure do make it look easy! I wonder if I'd be better off buying this kit or buying but spools of different diameter silicone hoses. At least with Tue latter I can cut to fit in cade any of them fall short wit this kit. I keep springing coolant leaks so I think rather than playing whack a mole with my hoses I'll just do them all at once. Wanna hooka Brother up with a free kit? I'll plaster your logo all over my bugeye if you do!

HA! Awesome! I actually just bought your silicone radiator hose kit. Ive yet to install it but if I dont run into any major issues, which I doubt I will, Ill be buying the ancillary hose kit next. Thanks so much for your reply! It's great to know yall are listening!
Hey let me quick ask, the very first hose you put onto the coolant expansion tank, can you tell mw whether you think that would stretch over to the middle of the radiator? I just got a rad from you guys and the ports oddly enough smack center of the rad. And after running into a couple fitment issues this is my last headache. So it would go a long way, thanks!
Hello Jon, could you please contact us at support@mishimoto.com? Your radiator should not have a center fill cap so we want to confirm what radiator you are working with.
Unfortunately there is not at the moment - but check out this link: www.mishimoto.com/make-model.html?make=Subaru&model=WRX&year=2012 This page should display everything that would fit your 2012 WRX - also we do carry universal silicone hoses. Hope this helps! - Team Mishi
Hose 6 will not fit properly, the amount you have to stretch each end surely makes the silicon go past its natural ability's, Mishimoto you need to try and fit hose 6 again and come back to me, Hose 9 where does this go on a 03 sti UK.
This video covers the Subaru WRX 2001-2005 Ancillary hose kit - the STi kit can be found here and comes w/7 hoses. www.mishimoto.com/subaru-wrx-sti-silicone-ancillary-hoses-04-07.html
please be careful buying this kit it does not fit as easy as he makes it look. the hoses are extremely small in diameter compared to the end your sticking in there. so you have to stretch the fuck out of the hoses. But I payed 130 bucks to struggle and I'm loving it. hopefully heating up the tube ends will make them fit snug. Anyone else encounter this problem or am I just shit out of luck.:^)
Huge help in learning the best way to do that PCV line to valve cover hose. What a pain!

This video doesn't show the replacement of the CBV return hose from the bpv to the turbo inlet hose
Yeah it's the only reason I watched this video cuz I couldnt figure out where this 9th hise goes
The hose with the label is your brake booster hose
is draining the radiator really necessary, seems like the reservoir only needs to be empty.
Can you make a vid with diff color hoses so its easier to fig out where they go

how come there is nothing for the sti?
what are the advantages and disadvantages of switching over to silicon. my stock hoses are starting to sweat a little so I'm looking to fix that.

thanks for the prompt response.
I drive a 2004 2.5L Forester XT which has a largely identical set-up to the WRX, yet its not listed as compatible on the website.
We have not tested fitment on the Forester. Sorry!
@@mishimoto thanks for the reply, if I get it I'll report back.
@@alexwatson8851 I also have an 04 xt. If you picked this up, did it fit?
Does Mishimoto make silicone hose clamps for the turbo inlet?
We do not make silicone hose clamps. Sorry!
Any chance to have a kit like this for the 15+ STI?
Not at this time. Sorry!
When you removed the inter-cooler you forgot to disconnect it from the turbo.
😂
thank you
will this work for 2015? also, is the overflow hose inluded in this?
Unfortunately this ancillary hose kit will not fit your 2015.
@@mishimoto I mean as far as installation goes. I just purchased the 15 hoses
hi im new to subarus .... was wondering if this kit fits in a 1997 forester STI?

SILICONE ANCILLARY HOSES FOR SUBARU WRX / WRX STI, 2004-2007
+Ruan Vorster Unfortunately at this moment we do not have one and we are working on getting all of our parts their own installation guide.
does this apply for the sti as well
This is a direct fit for 2001-2015 Subaru WRX
So this fits 2015 WRX
It will not fit the 2015+ WRX. It will fit 2015+ STI tho. This is a kit for EJ series engines.
Thanks for the info
is there an easier way to install those coolant lines without draining the coolant?
