I really want to eliminate any possability of future boost problems, so i have decided to get a silicon hose job done on my car. Now i am wondering how much would it cost me if i get a shop to do my silicon hose job? i could do it my self but i really dont want to screw anything up haaaaaa, i have a shop here that works on rx7 only but i was wonedring you know if any of you have gotten your silicon hose job done by someone else and and how much it costed you?

 

id say around 400$

4-5 hundred

 

same thing, anywhere between 4-6 hundred, depends if you have your own materials or not

 

IMO, you should wait until you have a boost problem before messing with the hoses. If you don't have any problems, you could possible create some.

Anyways, someone just got the job done for $400 here on the forum, however, I'm surprised at that price. I would guess you should estimate around $650. If it's cheaper, then your in good shape. If it's more, it should be much more than that...

 

I 100% agree with Mahjik. Don't screw with it unless/until you have problems.

The thing is as stock hoses get old, they lose their flexibility, that actually isn't a bad thing if they are left alone. They won't pop off and they won't leak.

Leave it stock until you have a problem. Also it isn't a good idea to replace all the hoses with silicone, some of the larger ones are formed and replacing with non-formed hoses can cause kinking more than with the smaller hoses..

Since you're in Langley, just go to Staffs Auto in North Van.. The best rotary guys in the area.

Greg will charge ya about $600 for parts and labour i believe. Call them to confirm.

 

They charged me 400 for the hose job, got the fuel pulsation dampner, and my primaries replaced, and my 2ndaries sent off to RC while everything was off.

 

which shop in LA?

 

I agree that you should leave it alone if it is working okay now.

Rotary Power

Charged me 500 for labor for everything

 

Got quoted for $400. Do it yourself. Save yourself some (lots) money. If you do it, I think you might as well do the non-seq. too. Much easier and you use up less hoses.

 

How much to DIY??? Prices on some good silicone hoses? Would you have to remove anything to get to the hoses?? Thanks

 

I bought a kit from www.hosetechniques.com for $150, but I understand that you don't need all of the hose that the kit includes, so you might save some money and buy just what you need.

Rotary Performance here in Dallas quoted me 10 hours of labor at $65.00/hour, so I took my time and did it myself. Not a hard job, just very tedious. Good luck!

 

Depending on who does it, it may cost as much as my Ex Girl friends silicone boob job.
Take a weekend and do it yourself, learn about the car. Save the money, buy some pizza and beer or take the family to the nudie bar for a night.

 

nothing quite like family night at the nudie bar!

"look at the dinner buckets on that girl, son!"
