Performance upgrade of American Made High-temp 4-ply reinforced silicone radiator hoses for long-life and heavier-duty pressure control.

Now for your Mitsubishi Montero and Montero Sport - 3.5 6G74 Single Over-Head Cam engines (3.5 6G74 SOHC)

Found primarily in the Gen 2 from late 1996-2000 Montero 3.5 SOHC (not third generation, yet)

and

The Mitsubishi Montero Sport 3.5 SOHC 1997-2004

We've advocated and used silicone hoses in engines bay for years, there are some hard, strange shaped hoses in the primary Montero cooling system, the main radiator hoses aren't ideal for straight silicone hose, there are three other size hoses in the engine bay, two are only 1/4" diameter and hidden in the valley of the engine. Doing a cooling system restoration without changing the rubber hoses is asking for heartache. The factory and oem replacement rubber hoses degrade through a phenomenon known as electro-chemical degradation, or ECD. It occurs due to the hose, liquid coolant and the engine/radiator fittings forming a galvanic cell or “battery”. This chemical reaction causes micro-cracks in the hose walls, allowing the coolant to attack and weaken the hose reinforcement through thermal expansion and contraction.

Rather than change the coolant hoses out every 2-3 of years in the arid desert climate (3-5 elsewhere), we swap out to reinforced 100% silicone hoses, they last years beyond factory rubber hoses. Carry a lifetime warranty on the main radiator hoses, as CATuned partnered with us on this project, they provide performance upgrades to the Drift motorsports aftermarket realm, where machines meet high demand and require maximum cooling. Both off-roading and drift racing require healthy cooling systems and the more extreme you go, the more intense the demand on the cooling system is. We've worked with them to get OEM fitment with high performance quality.

Hose kits are in stock and ready to ship. Full engine sets will have short lead times as we process them.
