Sorry I was not able to make the Tint Party but, I had to make a trip over to Lokey to get my Crawford plenum and Samco hose kit installed. As always, Lokey did a great job. Very happy with the results.

 

flfire........nice clean engine compartment! (nice hoses too ) How do you clean your engine?

 

Thanks. The only reason it is so clean is that it is still somewhat new. Most of it was covered by the stock cover until last week. Have not cleaned it yet since purchase in November.

 

Looks good Tony. How was the trip?

 

Early Morning+Tony=Bad Mixture. I don't remember anything about the drive over so, I think I must have been asleep. Glad the cruise control works.

There is a decent shopping center across the street from Lokey that is in walking distance. Killed a bunch of time at the Borders. Got out of there around 1330. All things considered, it was not too bad at all. Even I-4, with all the construction going on, was not stop and go.

Overall, a good day with great results.

 

look good.

yes yesterday mike and i were quite shocked that there was hardly any backed up traffic on i4 by disney. we hit a little on the way there but none on the way back. that was definately a first.

 

Python (spelling?) fittings right? Looks great. My Samco kit is still in the bag.

 

nice, where did you get the samco holes from?

 

Do they make a kit in BLACK?

 

Yes, they make a kit in black and about 7 other colors. What you see it two parts. Four coolant hoses and the replacement for the z-tube.

The fittings are Pi-Thons. If you go that route, be sure to order the ones for the Samco hoses. The OD of the Samco's is bigger than the stock. I could not use the Pi-Thons on the heater hose due to the "T" fitting behind the radiator. All other worked great. Still waiting on some vacuum lines to finish it off with the remaining Pi-thons.

Hi FLFIRE

Do you have the measurements for the vacuum lines?
What other lines did you replace other that the ones that came with the Samco Kit (overflow; upper & lower rad and the long heater (?)hose)?
I did not like the Pi-Thons and will probably sell them; I used regular screw down clamps

 

Have you noticed any difference with the Crawford plenum? I have a 2005, but it's 6mt not a 5at like yours.

I've heard mixed results about Crawford's plenum on a 2005 G35. I'm curious as to how you like it.

.

 

As you can tell from my sig; I have the Crawford plus some.
Great Mod....only minus is the engine cover no longer fits

 

very nice..............do you feel any gains???

 

I have only changed one other one. The line from the lower plenum on the attached picture. I may change it back and just keep the pi-thons on. Some of the other vacuum lines have check valves in-line and I don't want to mess with them.
