Martin,
What hose did Ross use? Thats the important question.
I will talk to Goodyear to qualify the bend rad info.
My eyes are not good enough to read whats on the hose.

Roger- that is indeed the question. I tried to underline that my info only applied to the G/Y hose I used. I'll be interested to hear what you learn!

Martin,

As far as I can tell the goodyear hose is unable to meet the required bend radius that is required for the S4 bend.
I also want you to know, I dont take offence easily, and always put in all the info as I dont have any idea how much you may or may not know, and it is better to be on the safe side.

Now that being said,

The specs on the GY hose are fairly close to the preformed hose the S4 uses here. You MAY get away with it if you increase the length, but then I believe you will run into other interference issues.

No problems! You and Roger know a lot more than I do, I know that from following your posts on many topics. And again, I totally agree on erring on the safe side. The only reason I posted was my curiosity about hose specs, and that I thought it was worthwhile to suggest to whitefox that he check his to be sure. I sure would not want to use the wrong stuff here, as I've said - or tried to say - before. And again, thanks for your feedback! I always learn a lot here from guys like you.

Martin,
I am really glad that you posted about the Goodyear hose and if the specs are correct I will be supplying it as part of the kit. It ceratinly seems better than the the standard EFI hose I am using.
What was the price like?
Roger

Ross,
Please tell us what hose you used so we can best advise you?
I can sell you just the preformed hose to ensure you have the correct hose in place of what you used.
Roger
