Ad: VTT Product annoucement - Billet / Silicone N54 coolant hose kit

The BAC Mono uses specific bolts to minimize weight because every ounce counts. Granted that car is a race car, but ya know...race car.

Chill brother, I'm just busting your balls. I actually checked out your build thread, and I see you're weighing all sorts of parts, I assume making comparisons and seeing how much you took off. I get it. I mean, I'd just weigh the whole thing after but to each their own. Your focus is on the minutia, we focus more big picture. FWIW, the purpose of these hoses is to step away from the OEM materials, weight wasn't anywhere in the design goals. Now you got it, plus some ball breaking for no extra charge. What's not to love?

xoxo,
Chris

Ok. "Ball breaking." Can't take what you pitch, but sure we can go with that and leave the issue dead.

Yes I'm focusing on "minutiae." No easy access to a vehicle scale until I corner balance again so I take control where I can. It's very important to me to document when I have options so I can monitor the weight trajectory. This way I'm not surprised later on and avoid wasting money.

Y'know?

Anyway. Hope these remain on the 1-2 week in stock estimate.

Yes those surprise extra few Oz's were going throw your build into a tailspin for sure. Honestly, I would stick with the stock hoses. It's like a fighter trying to cut weight before a big bout. But his wife surprises him with some donuts before weigh in. Don't want to come in bloated and go down hard in the 1st round.

Gee that took a twist. I thought something else was going to be a surprise from the wife ......

Thank you we appreciate that. Please keep in mind we have close to 30 backorders, and we are shipping in order. Yours will probably be late this week early next as we assemble them for the earlier orders.

im curious about the lower coolant hose. would i be able to use this for my relocated coolant res?

 

[Chris@VargasTurboTech]

If you can use the stock one, yes. If it's different than stock, nope. If demand is there, we could look into another one for relocated.

@Chris@VargasTurboTech Any chance you guys can make something similar for the F series n55? Our coolant expansion tank hose keeps cracking and breaking and this is a really common issue.

It's not on the list currently but I'll bring it up for discussion on our next future projects session.

Nothing other than what's on the site at the moment.

Keep us posted on fitment and time it takes for you to do full swap.

For sure. I have quite a bit to do at the same time. I've never replaced belts/pulleys, oil pan gasket, turbos.... so of course I want to do all of that while also doing coolant lines... WHY DO I HATE MYSELF

Not sure if I should go with OEM kit I have waiting or the VTT. Don't want to be stranded.
