Default Blitz Cooling performer

No one probably has this installed.....but it looks like a decent radiator hose....I tried to get the link but when I pull it up on there website it opens up into a smaller page with no Http address


Here is the website address to Blitz North America
http://www.blitz-na.com/product.html

Go to "Products"
Then "Engine"
Then click on "Cooling performer"

It even has a bung to tap for a water temp gauge too

That's alot for a hose, but I do like the idea of the tap for a temperature gauge sensor. I think that's a must for these cars that only have an idiot light.

is this it?



it doesn't say exactly what it does?

The BLITZ® Cooling Performer is constructed out of 2 ply silicone and was designed to replace the upper radiator hose of specific vehicles. The Cooling performer also an additional tap to simplify the installation of a water temperature gauge.

I've seen it advertised for $90 which I agree is a lot for a hose, even a pretty silicone one.

I also like the idea of a water temp gauge to supplement the idiot light. Someone on echofans.net (look for DIY section) said he used the coolant drain plug on the engine block though the upper cooling hose seems a lot more convenient!

it is just a radiator hose made of a better silicone matterial to keep the coolants cooler. i plan on switching my radiator hose for a better one i will get this one and see. blitz does have a really good rep, so i see no problems. 115.00 is expensive but if it keeps the engine cooler i will give it a try

that is one of the key things i am going to do to the engine (cool it down) i plan on useing red line waterwetter, cooler radiator hose, intake sleeve, header wrap anything and everything that will help to cool down the engine. i want to see if that helps in performance as well as the problems that people have with the fan and stuff.

i think it just comes on alot robbing the scion of horsepower, i think because it thinks the engine is too hot.

i think an aftermarket fan would help too, but only way to find out is to find one and install it.
